IFDM social index data, Indaiatuba ranks number one of the "Top 100 best cities to live in, in Brazil".

The Federation of Industries of Rio de Janeiro, surveyed data and compared information on education, health, income and employment (including wages and formal job creation) of all the municipalities within the country and, with this data, they have created the Firjan Development Index Municipal (IFDM), which enabled the elaboration of a ranking system of the top 100 best cities to live in Brazil[citation needed].

The chapel, which later became the Igreja Matriz de Nossa Senhora da Candelária, is one of the few remaining colonial-era religious buildings made of rammed earth in São Paulo.

[4] With the beginning of the Republican period in Brazil, Indaiatuba's civic center shifted to the Largo da Cadeia (currently called Praça Prudente de Moraes).

The square housed important civic buildings, including the Câmara, the Cadeia (jail), and the Prefeitura (city hall).

Later, in the 1980s, a new plan designed by Ruy Ohtake proposed the creation of the Parque Ecológico as a central element of the town's urban expansion.

The town has consistently ranked high in economic growth indices and is well-connected to the surrounding region and the world through modern highways and Viracopos International Airport.
