What is a regional snapshot?What is the snapshot?This regional snapshot is a demographic and economic assessment of the Radius Region in Indiana. Using county-level data, PCRD analyzed a number of indicators to gauge the overall economic performance of the Radius Indiana Region in comparison to the rest of the state.

What is its purpose?The snapshot is intended to inform Radius Indiana leaders, organizations and residents of the key attributes of the region’s population and economy. In particular, it takes stock of the region’s important assets and challenges. With such data in hand, regional leaders and organizations are in a better position to invest in the mix of strategies that will spur the growth of the economy and provide a higher quality of life for residents of the region.

What are its focus areas?PCRD secured and analyzed recent data from both public and private sources to generate the snapshot. In order to build a more comprehensive picture of the region, the report presents information under four key categories:

Demography Human Capital Labor Industry

When appropriate or relevant, the report compares information on the region with data on the remainder of the state of Indiana. By so doing, the region is better able to determine how well it is performing relative to the state on a variety of important metrics.

Population change

In 2012, the population in the Radius Region represented 3.4 percent of the overall Indiana population.The growth in the region’s population from 2002 to 2012 was 2.3 percent. The rest of the state grew by 6.5 percent during that same time frame.

It is estimated that the Radius Indiana Region’s population will grow slightly faster from 2012 to 2020 (2.4 percent or an increase of 5,417 people). Indiana’s remaining 84 counties are expected to grow by 309,370 people (4.9 percent growth) over that period of time.

The Radius Region is poised to grow, albeit more slowly than the rest of Indiana.

section 02

In both the Radius Indiana Region and the rest of Indiana, males outnumber females at lower ages (0 to 39).The opposite is true for the population aged 40 and above as it is disproportionately female in both regions.When contrasted with the rest of the state, the population in the Radius Indiana Region is aging more rapidly. Roughly 37 percent of Radius residents are 50 or older, compared

to 33 percent of people in the rest of the state. Additionally, the two oldest cohorts (70-79 and 80+) make up nearly 11 percent of Radius’ population but 9 percent of the rest of the state’s population.These results suggest a need to provide for an aging population while simultaneously exploring ways to retain a younger-aged adult workforce.

Educational attainmentEducational attainment is an important indicator of the skills of a population.

In 2012, 21 percent of Radius residents (25 years of age or higher) had less than a high school diploma, compared to 14 percent for residents in the rest of the state. The Radius Region had a slightly higher percentage of associate’s degree holders (8 percent) than the rest of the state (7 percent).

The proportion of adults with a bachelor’s degree or more was substantially lower in the Radius area when compared to the rest of the state (12 percent versus 23 percent).

In general, the Radius Region could be challenged in its ability to capture high quality jobs that require a more highly educated workforce.

Four-year high school graduation ratesIn 2009, 85.3 percent of Radius Indiana students successfully graduated from high school after four years. This was 2.8 percentage points higher than the rest of Indiana as a whole. The rate for four-year graduates rose to 89.9 percent in the Radius Region by 2013, a figure that continued to exceed the rate for the remainder of the state.

High schools in the Radius Region are outperforming others in Indiana. However, the rest of the state appears to be closing the gap.*

Patenting trends are an important indicator of the level of innovation in a region. Commercializing this innovation can lead to long-term growth for regional economies.

When it comes to innovation, Radius residents are lagging behind the rest of Indiana. The launching of high tech, high growth entrepreneurial enterprises in the Radius Indiana Region may be difficult in light of the limited number of patents being issued in the region.* Source: U.S. Patent and Trademark Office

Patents per 1,000 Jobs

2000-2011From 2000 to 2011, Radius

counties were issued patents at a rate of 1.93 per 1,000

jobs, while the remaining Indiana counties garnered 4.36

patents per 1,000 jobs.

Patents per 1,000 residents2000-2011From 2000 to 2011, 0.94 patents per 1,000 residents were issued in Radius counties. The rest of Indiana amassed 2.38 patents per 1,000 residents.

*Note: Patent origin is determined by the residence of the first-named inventor. Since a number of Radius workers commute into the region, the number of patents produced in the Radius region could be high. However, among residents of the region, patent production is relatively low.

Laborshed

Source: LEHD, OTM, U.S. Census Bureau

A region’s laborshed is the geographic area from which it draws employees.In 2011, Radius was home to a total of 73,114 jobs. Almost 30 percent of individuals working in Radius counties at this time commuted from outside counties for work. On the other hand, 70.1 percent of jobs in the region were held by Radius residents.

Thus, Radius’ laborshed is largely comprised of the Radius counties themselves.

The Radius Region draws its labor force largely from its own counties.Eighty percent of Radius workers come from either Radius itself, or nearby Monroe, Perry, Pike or Spencer counties.

Marion County (Indianapolis) comes into the laborshed at the 85 percent threshold, accompanied by Knox, Gibson, and Vanderburgh counties in southwestern Indiana.

Extending the threshold to 90 percent, many southern Indiana counties enter into the Radius Region’s labor force composition. The new counties represented include Vigo, Sullivan, Owen, Jackson, Clark, Floyd, Harrison and Warrick.

A region’s commuteshed is the geographic area where its residents work.Nearly 46.0 percent of employed residents in the Radius region commute to jobs located outside of the eight-county region. On the other hand, the remaining 54.5 percent of the region’s workforce both live and work in the Radius area.

Some residents of the Radius Region commute long distances for work.Taking commutes into account, 80 percent of residents work in the Radius Region, nearby counties or regional hubs, such as Marion, Indiana, (Indianapolis) and Jefferson, Kentucky (Louisville).

Increasing the threshold to 85 percent of residents introduces Sullivan, Jackson, Crawford, Harrison and Spencer counties into the commuteshed region.

Looking at 90 percent of Radius residents, we see more nearby counties enter the commuteshed, as well as two counties that are substantially farther away, namely Hamilton and Allen (Fort Wayne).

Contains clusters that are more concentrated in the region but are declining (negative growth). These clusters typically fall into the lower quadrant as job losses cause a decline in concentration.

Contains clusters that are under-represented in the region but are growing, often quickly. If growth trends continue, these clusters will eventually move into the top right quadrant. Clusters in this quadrant are considered “emerging” strengths for the region.

Contains clusters that are under-represented in the region (low concentration) and are also losing jobs. Clusters in this region may indicate a gap in the workforce pipeline if local industries anticipatea future need. In general, clusters in this quadrant show a lack of competitiveness.

Star IndustriesThe most highly concentrated industry cluster in the Radius Region is Forest and Wood Products. Its location quotient is 11.42, indicating that this cluster is more than 11 times more concentrated in the region than is the case for the U.S. as a whole. Nearly 10,500 Radius jobs are in this cluster. Other strong clusters of note in the region include Agribusiness, Food Processing and Technology as well as Chemicals and Chemical-based Products. These and the remaining star clusters in Radius Indiana are important drivers of the region’s economy.

Transforming IndustriesTransforming industries are relatively small and declining. In the Radius Region, the Arts, Education, Publishing, Energy, and Fabricated metal manufacturing are Transforming. Any amount of growth in these industries would require relatively large investments.

Maturing IndustriesA number of industry clusters in the Radius Region are in the Maturing stage. This means they are relatively concentrated, but their growth is trending downward. Overall, this is likely a reflection on a broader nationwide trend of declines in manufacturing. It is worth noting, however, that the Radius Region may find it worthwhile to invest in efforts to shore up the concentration of some of these industries, if they are deemed important to the region (such as Advanced Materials and Transportation and Logistics).

Emerging IndustriesIndustry clusters that may be poised for growth are classified as Emerging. In the Radius region, Biomedical, Business Services, Defense and Security, Glass and Ceramics, and IT are designated emerging clusters. These clusters have gained strength over the 2008-13 period and may emerge as some of the important economic forces in the future.

Conclusions

section 06

Radius IN Region: key opportunitiesThe mixed data presented in this report provide food for thought in terms of how to strengthen and build on the existing and emerging assets in the region. We offer a few comments for consideration by leaders, organizations, agencies and residents of the Radius Indiana Region. Demography• Consider ways to provide the services

needed for an expanding aging population.

Human Capital• Assess the human capital/workforce needs of

existing firms in the region. Determine how well the human capital skills of the workforce are in sync with the needs of local/regional firms.

• Examine ways to draw young adults from the region who have completed a two or four year college, or graduate degrees to remain or return to the area upon graduation.

• Focus attention on the sizable percent of adults with only a high school education (41 percent) to ensure they are provided the skills needed to survive in a changing global economy.

Economic Development• Consider taking stock of the human capital

attributes of workers who commute to work outside of the region. Those endowed with high-to-medium level skills may represent a prime source of labor for new or expanding companies in the region.

• Focus attention on the needs and opportunities of first and second stage firms. These will likely serve as generators of new jobs in the region.

• Assess how the region can provide a support system that can help strengthen the survival and sustainability of the self-employed.

• Determine how best to build on the star and emerging industry clusters in the region. Invest on the clusters that align with the values and long-term aspirations of leaders and residents of the region.
