International migration into Monroe County almost squarely offset the number of domestic migrants leaving, resulting in little population change.

“Back in 2008, natural increase — or the difference between births and deaths — accounted for 77% of Indiana’s growth," said Kinghorn. "In 2024, by contrast, a net international migration of 30,852 residents accounted for 70% of the state’s growth.”

Indiana added 44,144 residents in 2024 to reach a total population of 6.92 million, the state’s largest annual increase since 2008, according to analysis from the Indiana Business Research Center at the Indiana University Kelley School of Business.
