Ind. Growth Fastest In Indianapolis Suburbs

June 18, 2010 Updated Jul 1, 2009 at 1:09 PM EST BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) - New census figures show that Indiana's fastest-growing communities this decade are concentrated in suburban Indianapolis. An analysis by Indiana University's Indiana Business Research Center found that Fishers has gained the most residents since 2000. The Census Bureau estimates that last year Fishers had a population of 69,011 - an 80 percent jump in eight years. Other Indianapolis suburbs with large growth rates in that time are Noblesville (43.4 percent), Greenwood (30.9 percent) and Carmel (25.2 percent). Indianapolis has grown by 2.1 percent to an estimated 798,382 people, while Fort Wayne remained virtually unchanged from the decade's start at 251,591 as the state's second-largest city.
