Chandler is a growing suburb in Warrick County, located right between Evansville and Newburgh along State Road 66. The population has grown to over 4,000 and continues to climb, since Warrick County has been one of Indiana's ten fastest-growing counties and Chandler benefits directly from that momentum. Residents here get the full benefit of the Warrick County School Corporation, widely regarded as one of the best in the region, at prices well below neighboring Newburgh. The commute to Evansville is about 15 minutes, and Newburgh's dining and shopping is even closer. Chandler's demographics skew young, with a median age of 36, making it a naturally energetic community with plenty of families. Home values have appreciated steadily, and the inventory of newer construction reflects the demand that's been building for years. If you want Warrick County's school system at a step down in price from Newburgh, Chandler is the smart move.
Chandler's ground has been busy for a long time. Before the neighborhoods and subdivisions, Warrick County's eastern edge was rich with coal, sitting on the Illinois Basin, and the area drew mining companies starting in 1875 when the first underground shaft, Chandler Mine, broke ground. At its peak, six different underground mines operated in and around town, fueling the region's economy well into the 20th century. By the mid-1940s, the mines had all shuttered, but what replaced them was a building boom. Within five years of the last mine closing, houses started going up across the landscape faster than anyone had predicted, and the population more than doubled. That pattern has more or less continued ever since. Today Chandler is Warrick County's second-most populous municipality, growing at about 1.5% per year with a median household income over $74,000. It shares the Ohio Township Public Library with Newburgh, and its families are plugged into the same top-rated Warrick County schools. Chandler went from coal shafts to subdivisions, and the trajectory is still pointing up.
