About Indiana
Indiana, meaning the "Land of the Indians," is a state
of the United States of America. Its capital is Indianapolis. The
U.S. postal abbreviation for the state is IN.
A resident of Indiana is called a Hoosier (which is also the name
used for a student of Indiana University, Bloomington).
The USS Indiana was named in honor of this state.
As of 2004, the population of Indiana was estimated to be 6,237,569.
This includes about 229,000 foreign-born (3.7%).
Racially, the state is:
85.8% White
8.4% Black
3.5% Hispanic
1% Asian
0.3% Native American
1.2% Mixed race
The five largest ancestries in the state are: German (22.7%), American
(12%), Irish (10.8%), English (8.9%), African American (8.4%).
German is the largest ancestry reported in Indiana, with almost
one-in-four whites reporting German ancestry in the Census. Persons
of American and British ancestry are also present throughout the
state, especially in the southern and central parts of the state.
Gary and the surrounding Chicago suburbs, along with the city of
Indianapolis, have large black populations.
South Bend has a large Polish population and there are a sizeable
number of people with Belgian ancestry in Mishawaka. Dyngus Day,
the Polish celebration of the end of Lent, takes place on the Monday
after Easter and is widely celebrated in South Bend.
A large Hispanic/Latino population has swelled in Elkhart County,
particularly the north side of the city of Goshen. This formerly
German- and Dutch-dominated area now has a high concentration of
Hispanic (particularly Mexican)-oriented businesses and many official
signs in the area are bilingual.
Population growth since 1990 has been extremely concentrated in
the counties surrounding Indianapolis, with four of the top five
fastest-growing counties in that area: Hamilton, Hendricks, Johnson,
and Hancock. The other county is Dearborn County, which is near
Cincinnati. Meanwhile, population decline has primarily been in
a series of counties that geographically form a line between Logansport
and Richmond. Most of these counties were at the heart of the Gas
Belt. There were also three counties along the Wabash River and
the Ohio River that experienced decline, these were Vigo, Knox,
and Perry.
