| 2000 vs. 2015 Population Growth and Change Hamilton County 2000 vs. 2015 Net Percent Change = 67.82% Rank = #1 Blackford County 2000 vs. 2015 Net Percent Change = -11.30% Rank = #92 Vanderburgh County 2000 vs. 2015 Net Percent Change = 4.90% Rank = #30 With a spotlight on Vanderburgh County, the chart above displays the distribution of the net percent change of population across Indiana's 92 counties over the period 2000-2015. Those counties whose population growth registered above the statewide average over this period realized an increase in their statewide share of population. Likewise, those counties whose population growth registered below the statewide average experienced a decline in their relative share of population statewide. Statewide Snippets:- Over 2000-2015 population grew in fifty-six Indiana counties while declining in thirty-six.
- Population growth in twenty-one counties outpaced the statewide average (8.81%), while growth in seventy-one counties trailed.
- At the extremes of the distribution, Hamilton County posted the highest growth of population (67.82%), while Blackford County placed last by logging a -11.30% decline.
- The spread in population growth between the highest (Hamilton County, 67.82%) and lowest (Blackford County, -11.30%) over 2000-2015 equated to 79.12% ( = 67.82% − -11.30%).
- Population growth statewide is but a weighted metric that stems from each county's share of population statewide. On this point, as the largest county in Indiana, Marion County's net population growth over 2000-2015 of 84,882 made up 15.82% of the total net growth statewide (536,690):
Marion County: Percent Share of Indiana's Population Growth, 2000-2015:15.82% = (84,882 / 536,690) x 100 Vanderburgh County Snippets:- Over 2000-2015, Vanderburgh County posted a 4.90% net gain in population.
