Median Center of US Population
According to the US Bureau of the Census, The Median Center of US Population is located at the intersection of two median lines, a north-south line constructed so that half of the nation's population lives east and half lives west of it, and an east-west line selected so that half of the nation's population lives north and half lives south of it.

The 2000 US Census data shows the Median Center of US Population has moved to a point in northeast Daviess County approximately 20 miles west of Vincennes. Because of its strategic location near the Median Center of U.S. Population and the major urban centers, markets and industries, Knox County is a prime location for development.
