Leah and I are still exploring Elkhart and learning about the people, places, and cultures represented.  Elkhart County has grown by 8% over the last several years and most of that has been from the Hispanic culture.

Some Quick Facts

  • Some of the Elkhart Schools have as much as 75% of their students on free or reduced lunch.
  • Elkhart Ranked 4th in the state for most teen pregnancies.
  • The Elkhart County Jail represents one of the largest building projects for well over the last ten years costing over 28 million dollars through stage 2 of 5.
  • Only about 1 in 5 people in Elkhart County attend a church of any kind any given Sunday.  That mean over 80% of the population isn't connected to a life giving community.
