For scale: a licensed Indiana payday loan is capped at $44 per $300 (382% APR) under Ind. Code § 24-4.5-7-101 et seq. — where that product exists, it is the cheaper two-week option.

Where our numbers come from
City facts come from the census gazetteer (population, county). Lender availability is computed from each brand’s published exclusion list (verified September 2026) and applies statewide — tribal lenders do not license by city. Figures are informational, not a loan offer.
