I'm surprised no one mentioned Mike Pence lives in Carmel. He bought a mansion there -- for $1.9mln.

Yes, Carmel is heavily white but so is Indiana -- 84.2% white based on the latest census. Oregon is more white at 86.2% if you want to point to a Democrat-controlled state that's also white.

It's a wealthy suburb of Indianapolis. It's kind of boring (I've been there), but aren't most suburbs?


How many guns and drug ods like Fairfax?


More drug overdose deaths per capita in IN than VA.


Carmel vs Fairfax?


You do realize that the population of Carmel is 105,000 and the population of Fairfax is about 1.1 million, right? Parts of Fairfax are not suburban . . . they are urban. If we chose an area of 105,000 people within Fairfax and we chose it from the suburban part, it will probably be comparable to Carmel on those statistics.

Hoosier native here. I didn’t know any Jews until I went to college on the east coast . I think there might be one synagogue in all of Indianapolis.
My public high school had a very active Fellowship of Christian Athletes chapter. And regularly advertised “Meet At the Flagpole” Christian morning prayer events. And we had assembly speakers who openly spoke about how Jesus saved them…


If the requirement is being Christian to have an environment like this and awesome school sign me up.


To clarify, I was the person who asked about Jewish people feeling comfortable there, not this PP. I think it’s probably not the most comfortable place for a religious minority. Thanks for sharing what you recall experiencing there tho!


Nobody knows whose Jewish and who isn’t.

There are several synagogues in Indianapolis, a JCC and the Goldman Union camp. Indiana U has Hillel and a Jewish fraternity, Purdue has Hillel. There are small Jewish communities in several Indiana towns, typically served by Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati, or larger Jewish communities in Louisville or Chicago.

And takes 30 minutes to drive it


My high school was 1 mile from my house and I never had a car.



Wow amazing. Why doesn’t everyone just do this


Because they’re too scared of minorities to live within cities or dense suburbs.

When you have kids it’s time to grow up. It doesn’t matter how many bars there are.
