What land sells for nearby
Land in Vigo County sold for:
- 1 to 10 acres: $8k–$21k an acre (13 sales, Oct 2024–Sep 2026); median $10k
- Lots under 1 acre: $1,800–$6,000 a lot (13 sales, Oct 2025–Sep 2026); median $4,000
- 10 acres or more: $5.7k–$10.6k an acre (11 sales, Oct 2025–Sep 2026); median $9,900
The middle half (25th to 75th percentile) and the median of recorded land sales (one parcel each, or one multi-parcel farm sale of bare land counted once). Each size uses its own months (the shortest of 12, 24 or 36 that holds enough sales), so the sizes' counts need not add up to another figure on this page. Source: STATS Indiana sales disclosure forms, valid for trending by the county assessor, vacant land with no improvement on the parcel at the sale; farm acreage (farm class, 10+ acres, no buildings): also the sales the assessor marked not valid for trending when the form gives none of the disqualifying answers (related parties, partial interest, court order, sheriff, quitclaim, trade, land contract and the like), because Indiana assessors do not trend farm sales; a multi-parcel farm sale of bare land counts once, at its price per total acre. Recorded sales, not an estimate of any parcel.
Home values in ZIP 47885 rose about 62% over 5 years and 16% in the last year (FHFA, 2025).

Soil for septic and building
Source: USDA NRCS soil survey (SSURGO), survey area IN167, version Sep 2026, read through NRCS Soil Data Access.
The parcel's main soil map unit covers about 44% of its outline: Shoals silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, frequently flooded, brief duration. Its main component is Shoals (90% of the unit).
The ratings are NRCS's own map-unit interpretations (dominant condition): ENG - Septic Tank Absorption Fields, ENG - Dwellings W/O Basements and ENG - Dwellings With Basements. The limits listed are the features NRCS names for the main component. Shrink-swell is that component's linear extensibility, depth-weighted from 25 to 100 cm, the layer NRCS's homesite rule reads; NRCS classes: low under 3%, moderate 3 to 6%, high 6 to 9%, very high 9% or more.
A screening, not a perc test or a soil boring: soils vary inside a map unit (survey scale about 1:12,000 to 1:24,000), and fill or grading may have changed the lot.
Property tax
Rates: Indiana DLGF, pay 2026. The estimate is the county's taxable value times those rates, before exemptions; it is not a bill. The county treasurer's bill is the official figure.
Property tax · Due dates
Indiana pay-2026 taxes: second installment due November 10, 2026.

What land sells for nearby
This tracks home values, not land values. Land buyers read it as a sign of demand nearby: where homes gain value, builders and buyers follow. A vacant lot can move differently.
How: the change in FHFA's annual five-digit ZIP code index from 2020 and 2024 to 2025, rounded. The index follows repeat sales and refinance appraisals of the same single-family homes with Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac mortgages. It is in today's dollars, not adjusted for inflation, and FHFA calls these local indexes developmental. Where FHFA's sample is too small it publishes no figure, and none prints here.
Source: FHFA House Price Index, all-transactions, annual five-digit ZIP code index, 2025, last updated March 31, 2026. Method: Bogin, Doerner and Larson, “Local House Price Dynamics: New Indices and Stylized Facts”, FHFA Working Paper 16-01.
Hazards
Ratings come from FEMA's National Risk Index (v1.20, planning-level) and the public federal and state maps named on each row, not a private climate model. FEMA rates each census tract from expected annual losses, community resilience and social vulnerability, for planning; it is not an assessment of this parcel.
Recorded flood claims
Insured buildings near this parcel, not the parcel itself. FEMA counts claims on buildings with NFIP flood insurance, so land that never had an insured building has no claims to count. The count is the parcel's census block group when it has 10 or more, else its tract's; a count under 10 prints as "Fewer than 10". Source: OpenFEMA NFIP Redacted Claims v3.
Federal disaster declarations
Each federal declaration whose designated areas include the county, declared from January 2000 on, counted once by its FEMA disaster number. An emergency declaration and a major-disaster declaration for the same storm are two declarations, as FEMA numbers them. Declarations for tribal lands alone are not counted. The date shown is when the most recent incident began. Types are FEMA's incident types: an evacuation emergency for a storm elsewhere (Hurricane Katrina, 2005) counts under that storm. By kind: 6 major disasters and 3 emergencies.

Development nearby
Counted from USGS Annual NLCD land cover (USGS Annual NLCD Collection 1.2, 30 m maps made from Landsat imagery, 2015, 2020 and 2025; public domain, DOI 10.5066/P94UXNTS). A 30 m square counts when it was forest, shrub, grassland, pasture, cropland or wetland in the start year and developed in 2025: NLCD's developed classes, from lawns, parks and roads to dense buildings. The squares are summed over the land within about a mile of this parcel's center on a 240 m grid, so the figures are rounded. "Most of the county" compares the same one-mile figure across the county's land. A satellite land-cover map misses some changes and mislabels a few, so read it as a guide to how fast the area is building out, not a survey. As of 2025 land cover.
Neighborhood (Census)
± is the Census 90% margin of error; a figure comes from the larger census tract when the block group's sample is too small.
Tax value
Tax value: the county's yearly assessment (gross assessed value, trended every year), not a market price. County file, June 2025.
Gross assessed value (the county assessor's market value-in-use, trended every year), not a market estimate. Farmland is assessed by the state's base-rate formula, well below what farmland sells for.
