Indiana added nearly 39,000 residents last year, outpacing all neighboring states and the national average in population growth.
More than 80% of Indiana’s population gains are a result of people moving into our state, with net domestic migration more than doubling from 6,024 people in 2024 to 12,197 in 2025.
Hoosier counties across the state both urban and rural are contributing to this growth, with central Indiana’s Boone and Hancock counties as the fastest growing followed by southern Indiana’s Clark County. Hamilton, Johnson and Allen counties added the most residents while rural counties including Madison, Parke and Owen experienced significant upticks as well.
Strong economic growth and job opportunities are attracting people to our state and communities. Indiana’s GDP continues to outpace our neighboring states as well.
House Republicans have worked to cut taxes, reduce regulations and lower the cost of living for families – all of which are helping to fuel this growth. This session, we focused on new laws to prioritize housing and energy affordability.
