Suburbs of Indianapolis

I know, I was surprised too when making this quiz!! Equally surprising was the inclusion of Brown County in the Indy metro, when one would think it would be undefined, or if in any metro at all, in Bloomington's. The Census Bureau works in mysterious ways, but it seems their data showed that enough people commute on a daily basis between Putnam County (and Brown County) and other Indy area counties to include it. I mean, I know a big chunk of Depauw's staff commutes from Indy, so it checks out anecdotally. Once they analyze the 2020 census, the metro area will probably grow even more, too!
