Nineveh is a very small town located in the state of Indiana. With a population of 2,981 people and just one neighborhood, Nineveh is the 190th largest community in Indiana.
Unlike some towns where white-collar or blue-collar occupations dominate the local economy, Nineveh is neither predominantly one nor the other. Instead, it has a mixed workforce of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Nineveh is a town of sales and office workers, professionals, and service providers.

A relatively large number of people in Nineveh telecommute to their jobs. Overall, about 17.60% of the workforce works from home. While this may seem like a small number, as a fraction of the total workforce it ranks among the highest in the country. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.
Another notable thing is that Nineveh is an extremely popular vacation destination. A significant portion of the population is seasonal. During the vacation season, the town experiences a large influx of people who take up residence in second homes they own in the area. As the vacation season ends, the population drops again, leaving behind a substantially quieter and smaller town.
It is a fairly quiet town because there are relatively few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. (Children, for example, often can't help themselves from being noisy, and being parents ourselves, we know!) Nineveh has relatively few families with children living at home, and is quieter because of it. Renters and college students, for their own reasons, can also be noisy. Nineveh has few renters and college students. But the biggest reason it is quieter in Nineveh than in most places in America, is that there are just simply fewer people living here. If you think trees make good neighbors, Nineveh may be for you.

When you see a neighborhood for the first time, the most important thing is often the way it looks, like its homes and its setting. Some places look the same, but they only reveal their true character after living in them for a while because they contain a unique mix of occupational or cultural groups. This neighborhood is very unique in some important ways, according to NeighborhoodScout's exclusive exploration and analysis.
Despite all of the residential real estate here in the neighborhood, NeighborhoodScout has discovered that much of it is vacant. In resort or second-home vacation areas, this naturally occurs because homes and apartments are seasonally occupied, and empty for a portion of the year. In non-vacation or resort areas, however, this can be an indicator of property abandonment or a weak real estate market. The vacancy rate here is 32.8%, which is higher than 96.4% of all U.S. neighborhoods.
We Americans love our cars.

Even different neighborhoods in the same city can have drastically different cultures.
