Wed., January 22,1986 — THE MAIL-JOURNAL

population, income, education, housing, poverty, agriculture and business activities. The book is divided into three sections: data on Indiana relative to the nation, county rankings and a section of one-page county profiles. Morton J. Marcus, research economist at the IU School of Business and editor of the book, said the volume will be useful to state planners because it locates where certain kinds of workers are within the state, shows how various business activities are distributed and reveals changes over time. The book shows Kosciusko County has a population of 61,800 as of 1984 ranking the county 23rd in the state with 85.92 percent of the population living in the rural non-farm areas. There are 540 square miles ranking the county fifth. The density per square mile is 110 with the ranking of 28. The county is ranked 13 in the median school years at 12.4 percent, 37th in the household income with $16,754; and 44th in the median family income at $19,027. In the poverty level the county is ranked 66 with 8.3 percent below the poverty level, 9.8 percent under 18 years of age and 1.1 percent over 65 years of age, ranking the county 62nd for those under 18 and 71st for those over 65. Families below poverty level is 6.6 percent, ranking the county 65th. Median value owner occupied housing is $39,800 for a ranking spot of 18 and the median contract rent is $l6O, rank of 23 and the assessed value of property (thousands) is $329,597 for a ranking of 14th with the assessed value per capita at $5,534, ranked 18. For example, he said, Indiana had 2.42 percent of the nation’s population in 1983, but at the same time had 6.1 percent of male lathe operators and 5.4 percent of all female woodworking machine operators in the nation. Such data shows how highly specialized the state is in those areas. Another fact: the state has 2.36 percent of the existing road mileage in the nation, and 2.46 percent of the traffic because of its crossroads nature “But we’re doing only 2.09 percent*of the spending on those road, that’s pothole city,” Marcus said. The book also reveals information such as where Indiana’s 139,000 motorcycles are located, the distribution of the state’s health care facilities, and how each county voted in the last six elections. Although the “Indiana Factbook” was two years in the making, Marcus said future volumes will take much less time because of the work put into the first volume.

Iffll Q. When I signed up for Social Security I was told to report my earnings at the end of the year. Why do I need to? Aren’t my earnings sent in through my employer? \ A. There are two reasons you may need to report your earnings to Social Security. First, if you earned over our annual limit, you need to let us know what you earned. Secondly, your earnings may be high enough to actually increase your Social Security benefit. Even though your employer sends a report of your earnings in, the report you were told to make with Social Security must be done by you by april 15. Q. I’ve been getting Social Security since I was 62. I’ll be 63 in 3 months. When should I sign up for Medicare? A. If you’re already receiving Social Security checks, you will automatically be covered for Medicare. Shortly before you turn 65, you will receive a letter and Medicare card. The premiums will then be deducted from your check.
