Using the Population Projections

These are the official population projections for the State of Indiana. Released in March 2018, the state's official population projections by the Indiana Business Research Center have been updated based on the U.S. Census Bureau's population estimates for 2015.

Visit the Projections topic page for maps, methodology and more.

2. Specific geography: After selecting the geographic type, specific options are loaded into this box.

Additional data options

• % of Total: Check this box if you want to see the projections as a percent of the total rather than raw numbers.
• Group counties into regions: When "Group Counties" is checked, you will see the total for the region. If you'd like to see the data for the component counties, uncheck this box. The system will automatically handle grouping when switching between individual areas and regions.
• Make a custom region: Build a custom region of Indiana counties here, or click on the "Custom Region" link in the upper right corner of the query bar to get to the region creation page.
