Return To Demographics: Population Change 1990 - 2000
 |
The third largest in the eleven county region, Johnson County is due south of
the City of Indianapolis. It has grown considerably over the past decades and
by 31 percent between the censuses taken in 1990 and 2000.
A significant amount of this growth can be attributed to people moving south
from Marion County and north from other Indiana counties. Much of the growth is
occurring near the major transportation arteries of I-65 and State Highway 31,
as one can see clearly through the SAVI map at left. |

Six towns and two cities dot the landscape of Johnson County. Greenwood is by
far the largest of these, with nearly 40,000 people counted in the 2000 Census.
It was also one of the fastest growing (44th) of the nearly 610 places (cities,
towns and census designated places) in Indiana. Edinburgh town is the only city
or town in the county to lose population between 1990 and 2000. Edinburgh is
actually located in three counties Bartholomew, Johnson, and Shelby. But the
majority (92.3 percent) of its population is within Johnson County.

Johnson County has nine townships and three of those are among the 100 largest
(out of 1,008) townships in the state. Those three townships Franklin,
Pleasant, and White River, accounted for more than 25,000 new persons in the
county between 1990 and 2000. All but one of these townships had growth rates
of 14 percent or higher between those census years. Blue River Township
sustained a growth rate of less than 2 percent.
