For the second consecutive year, a low rate of natural population increase was the primary driver of Indiana’s slow growth.

“Due largely to the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of deaths in Indiana remained exceptionally high in 2022,” said Matt Kinghorn, senior demographer at the Indiana Business Research Center. “Add in another year with relatively low fertility rates, and there were only 1,024 more births than deaths in the state last year. 

“For context, Indiana had an average natural increase of roughly 21,150 residents per year between 2010 and 2019.” 

Meanwhile, 24 states had a natural decrease in 2022, meaning deaths outnumbered births.
