What a Indiana IP address tells you
Indianapolis holds almost all of Indiana's recorded capacity. Netrality's Indy Telcom Center at 733 W. Henry counts 41 networks, Lifeline Eastgate 29, the second Netrality address at 701 W. Henry 21, and DataBank IND1 14. Outside the city, GAP Union Station in South Bend has 11 networks and DartPoints CLU1 in Columbus 7. IndyIX lists 13 participants against 151 facility presences statewide, which means most networks with equipment in Indiana carry their traffic out over transit or peer at exchanges in other states.
An Indiana address in a geolocation database reflects the record an operator published for that block rather than a measurement of the device. Registrations follow company paperwork, so a network with racks in Indianapolis can file addresses to Indiana while the users behind them sit far away. Mobile traffic loosens the link further. AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon aggregate subscriber sessions behind regional gateways, so a handset connected in Indiana can present an address that databases place in another state.
Checking the prefix beats trusting the city label. Look at the origin ASN on the route and the netname on the block. When the origin is a carrier mobile ASN, such as 13644 for T-Mobile or 6256 for Verizon, the address sits in a national pool and any state attached to it comes from the operator's filing. Indiana's 151 facility presences and 13 exchange participants describe where networks interconnect, not where individual addresses come to rest.

Questions
How many data centres are in Indiana?
The snapshot lists 18 facilities across 11 Indiana cities, holding 151 network presences. Indianapolis carries the concentration, with two Netrality buildings on W. Henry Street, Lifeline Eastgate and DataBank IND1 together accounting for more than 100 of those presences.
Is there an internet exchange in Indiana?
IndyIX in Indianapolis is the only one in the snapshot, and 13 networks participate. That is small next to the 151 network presences recorded in Indiana facilities, so most traffic between Indiana networks travels over transit or meets at exchanges elsewhere.
Can I get an IP address in Indiana?
Placement follows the operator's address registration rather than a customer's choice of state. A block reads as Indiana when the network holding it filed the record that way, and mobile pools are usually registered nationally, so a mobile session shows whatever state the operator recorded.
