Financial Literacy in Mauckport, IN

Mauckport, Indiana is home to about 45 people. Its population has held essentially flat since 2020, moving less than a percent either way. The median age is 33.1.

0% of Mauckport residents 25 and older have completed a bachelor's degree or more. That sits 16 points below the Indiana average of 16%. Put the other way round: of the 31 adults 25 and over counted in the 2019–2023 ACS, roughly 31 — 100% — are building their financial lives without a four-year degree behind them.

Indiana has committed to 1 semester of personal finance as a graduation requirement, phasing in with the class of 2028 — so today's middle schoolers will be the first cohort held to it. That covers students still in the system. It does nothing for the adults already out of it — which, in Mauckport, is most of the people reading this.
