Return To Demographics: Population Change 1990 - 2000
 |
Directly north of Marion County, Hamilton is one of the fastest growing counties
in the nation (22nd out of 3,141 counties) and in the state of Indiana (1st out
of 92). More than 3 decades ago, Hamilton County had what now seems a mere
54,000 people. By the 2000 Census, it had almost quadrupled in size to 183,000.
A significant portion of the countys considerable growth came from people
relocating from Indianapolis, in keeping with the national trends toward
suburbanization that continue today. However, migration patterns also show
significant numbers of people moving from other states to live in Hamilton
County but who find work in Indianapolis.

Eight cities and towns cover much of the landscape in Hamilton County, with
Fishers and Carmel seemingly neck and neck in terms of population size. But
since that count in April 2000, the town of Fishers has had a special census
conducted which puts them over the 50,000 population mark by November 2003.
