About this chart

Indiana's population rose from 5,555,097 in 1990 to 6,973,333 in 2025, a gain of about 1.42 million or 25.5 percent, and it set a new high in each year of the series. The growth is steady but modest: 14.5 percent since 2000 and 7.4 percent since 2010, with about 183,000 people added between 2020 and 2025.

Because other states grew faster, Indiana lost ground in the rankings. It was 14th among the 50 states in 1990 and 2000, 15th in 2010 and 17th in 2025. Figures are Census Bureau resident estimates for July 1. Indiana has not lost ground in population, only in position.
