[edit] Indiana County Population at a glance

Indiana is one of the most spread out states in the midwest. Unlike Illinois and Michigan, which have at least 40% of their population in one or two cities, Indiana, has no city of more than 800,000 and its population is spread almost evenly. The average population of Indiana's ninety-two counties according to 2006 U. S. Census estimates, is 66,092, with Marion County as the most populous (860,454), and Ohio County (5,623) the least. Indiana also has one of the fewest number of counties that have less than 10,000 residents with only five, Benton, Ohio, Switzerland, Union, and Warren, and of those, Benton and Switzerland have more than 9,000. Altogether, only 19 Counties have less than 20,000 residents. 46 of Indiana's counties lie between 20,000 and 50,000 residents with 8 Counties having between 50,000 and 100,000 residents and 17 counties having more than 100,000 residents, 7 of which have more than 150,000 residents. Only four of those even border each other. Allen and Vanderburgh Counties contain the stand-alone metro areas of Evansville and Fort Wayne, while Lake, La Porte, and Porter are part of the Chicago Metropolitan Area with Saint Joseph and Elkhart continuing the chain eastward into the Michiana Area and Hamilton, Hendricks, Johnson and Marion Counties are in the Indianapolis Area. Delaware, Monroe, Porter, Saint Joseph Tippecanoe, Vanderburgh and Vigo Counties contain the large college towns that are home to the big universities of Ball State, Indiana University, Valparaiso University, University of Notre Dame, Purdue University, University of Evansville, University of Southern Indiana, and Indiana State University respectively. Only one, Marion, where Indianapolis is located, with more than 750,000, but less than 900,000 residents.

[edit] Other Notes
