Return To Demographics: Population Change 1990 - 2000
 |
West of Indianapolis, it is clear from the SAVI map at left that Hendricks
County development remains close to the border of Marion County. We can also
see that the cities and towns hug the interstates that cross through the county
going toward Terre Haute or St. Louis.
The growth of population in this county can best be described as stable growth.
It hasn't experienced the acceleration of some of its neighboring counties. The
county consistently gained between 10,000 and 20,000 people each decade up
until recent years, when it grew by more than 10,000 people in the two years
since Census 2000. With the proximity of the Indianapolis International
Airport, the Federal Express Hub, a new second Plainfield exit off Interstate
70 and other development in the works, Hendricks is expected to experience a
faster rate of growth throughout this decade. |
