Indiana's population in the year to July 2025

On July 1, 2025, Indiana had an estimated 6,973,333 residents, 38,579 more than a year earlier (+0.56%). Ranked by that rate of change, it is 22nd of the 50 states and DC.

Components of change in the year to July 2025
  • Natural change (births minus deaths)+8,561
  • Net international migration+17,852
  • Net domestic migration (other states)+12,197

All three parts of the change added people: net international migration (17,852), net domestic migration (12,197) and natural change (8,561), largest first. Births outnumbered deaths, 79,648 to 71,087. The remaining 31 is the Census Bureau's residual, change the three parts do not explain.

Net domestic migration came to 1.8 per 1,000 residents, 20th among the 50 states and DC. Counting international arrivals too, net migration was 4.3 per 1,000.

Against the April 2020 estimates base of 6,786,605, the 2025 estimate is up 2.8%.

The state-to-state survey could not establish which way Indiana's balance with other states ran; the 2025 estimate puts net domestic migration at +12,197.
