The total population increased by 8 percent between 2000 and 2013. The major contributor to that expansion was natural increase (births minus deaths over that span of time) with a net growth of nearly 100,188 persons.
Data on domestic migration (the difference between the number of people moving in of the county versus moving out) shows that in-migration was outpaced by out-migration by 64,339 people. On the other hand, international migration had a net increase of 30,341 individuals, indicating that the county experienced an influx of new people from outside the U.S.

Takeaways
The population of Marion County is expected to grow rapidly over the next few years, and, if past trends hold, that increase will be largely due to natural increase (more births than deaths).
While Marion County’s population grew from 2000 to 2013, it has also become slightly older. The number of residents in Marion County that are 50 years of age and above has increased from 210,000 people in 2000 to 273,000 people in 2013. They have also increased as a share of residents, from 24 percent to 30 percent.
In addition, 64,300 people migrated out of Marion County to other parts of the country, meaning that individuals are moving out of the county at a faster pace than they are moving in.
Part of this movement is counter-balanced by international immigration, which increased the population of Marion County by 30,341 people between 2000 and 2013.
The education level of the population has increased, although 16 percent of the population do not have a high school diploma. The county has become more racially and ethnically diverse since 2000.
In order to attract more highly educated working-age individuals, Marion County should explore what mix of services and amenities will retain and attract these educated young adults and prevent some of leaving the county.

Takeaways
Marion County experienced an explosion of self-employment and Stage 1 establishments between 2000 and 2011. So, focusing on the needs of the self-employment (Stage 0) and start-up (Stage 1) establishments may be worthwhile to sustain the businesses.
Healthcare, waste management and government are growth sectors for Marion County. These are industries and occupations that demand workers with varying educational levels.
Median income has decreased and poverty has increased in Marion County since 2000.
Marion County might focus on policies and programs that strengthen high-growth Stage 2 firms since they employ several people and capture sizable sales. This could help the new self- employment and Stage 1 establishments grow at a faster pace as well.
Promoting job growth for occupations in sectors that hire production and farming workers may help offset the large proportional decrease in employment these occupations have experienced since 2000.
Services targeted to poverty-stricken individuals should be considered, given the dramatic rise in poverty, especially among children under 18 years of age.

Takeaways
Marion County’s unemployment rate has increased since 2002. The majority of this increase occurred during the Great Recession (approximately 2008 to 2010), reaching a peak in 2010.
Despite population increases of more than 60,000 people, the county’s labor force has only increased marginally since 2002 (+8,000 people). This may be due to a larger increase in the aging population of Marion County relative to its working age population.
Employees that work but do not live in Marion County tend to commute from different parts of Indiana, but this movement is especially strong for surrounding counties. People who commute out of the county tend to travel short distances within Indiana for work .
Marion County should assess if a major workforce development training effort should be targeted to the growing number of working age adults struggling to find jobs.
The laborshed and commuteshed data offer solid evidence of the central role of Marion County in Indiana and the advantages of pursuing economic and workforce development on a regional (multi-county) basis.
