Population of Indiana

Analysis# Indiana Population Analysis Indiana's population of 6.89 million ranks it 17th nationally, with a 6.32% growth rate over the past decade translating to approximately 410,000 new residents since 2014. The state's growth trajectory peaked during the 1960s, but this represents a significant slowdown compared to that era—Indiana's current decade growth rate is substantially below its historical average across the 124-year dataset. This moderate growth pattern reflects Indiana's position as a mature Midwest state competing with faster-growing Sun Belt and Western regions for population gains.
