Porter
6.8
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Porter County is where the Indiana Dunes National Park meets Chicago exurbia — Valparaiso has a university (about 4,500 students) and the county draws people priced out of Chicago who want lakefront access without Illinois tax rates. The Indiana Dunes bring serious summer crowds, and Valpo has a real small-city food and bar scene. More cosmopolitan than most of Indiana by virtue of Chicago's proximity, and meaningfully more diverse — though still conservative by Midwest standards, it's a cut above the Indiana baseline.
