New Carlisle by the numbers

Jobs, prices, people and schools, charted from the government’s own figures.

Each chart is drawn from a public data series The Lantern collects as it is published: the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Department of Labor, the Energy Information Administration, the Census Bureau and the National Center for Education Statistics. The sentence under each title is calculated from those same figures, and each chart links to its source. Some series cover the county or the state rather than the town; each title says which.
