Despite being close to Evansville and experiencing a large growth of population in the central areas, Gibson County still remains a largely rural county with half of the ten townships having populations less than 2, 000.

Less than 7 percent of the county's lies within incorporated settlements, or 10 percent if subdivisions are included.
