Change section 02 The countys total population increased by 21
percent between 2000 and 2013. Natural increase (births minus
deaths over that span of time) was the largest contributor to that
expansion, with a gain of over 14,700 persons. International
migration also increased by almost 11,700 individuals, indicating
that the county experienced a large influx of new people from
outside the United States. The growth is likely due to the presence
of Purdue University and the recruitment and expansion of
industries with a global reach. In contrast, domestic migration
(difference between the number of people moving into the county
versus moving out) resulted in a relatively small gain of 559
individuals in the county between 2000 and 2013. Total population

are visual representations of the age distribution of the
population by gender. Approximately 48.7 percent of the population
was female in 2000 (72,532 people) and that percentage remained
about the same in 2013. What did change is the distribution of
people across the various age categories. A larger share of people
shifted into the higher age groupings over the 2000 to 2013 time
period. Demography Source: U.S. Census Bureau 2000 Decennial Census

ancestry is from Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Spain, the Dominican
Republic or any other Spanish-speaking Central or South American
country. There were 7,831 Hispanics residing in Tippecanoe County
in 2000. This figure expanded to 14,285 by 2013, an 82.4 percent
increase. Due to this numeric increase, the proportion of Hispanics
in the population is now around 8 percent. Demography Source: U.S.

County had a 5 percentage point increase in the number of adults
(25 and older) with an associates, bachelors or graduate degree
from 2000 to 2013. The proportion of adults 25 years of age and
older with a high school education or more improved from 88 percent
in 2000 to 91 percent by 2013. Those with only a high school degree
fell slightly from 31 percent in 2000 to 28 percent in 2013. Adults
with a college degree increased from 38 percent in 2000 to 43
percent in 2013. This was due to a 2 percentage point increase in
the proportion of residents with associates degrees (5 percent
versus 7 percent), while the proportion of adults with at least a
bachelor's degree increased from 33 percent to 36 percent, a 3
percentage point growth. . Demography Source: U.S. Census Bureau

12. 12 Takeaways Demography section 02 The population of
Tippecanoe County is expected to grow over the next few years,
though not as quickly as between 2000 and 2013. If past trends
hold, that increase will be the result of natural increase (more
births than deaths) as well as international migration. The age
composition of Tippecanoe Countys population has two main features.
First, one finds an aging population in which the percentage of
people 50 and older is gradually increasing. Second, the largest
proportion of the population is between 20 and 29 years of age, and
this group comprises over a quarter of the population. The racial
and ethnic diversity of Tippecanoe County has nearly doubled since
2000, but the county remains primarily white and non- Hispanic. The
educational attainment of adults 25 and over has improved since
2000, and the percentage of adults with a high school education or
less (37 percent) is one of the smallest in the state. The number
of adults with at least a college degree has also continued to grow
(43 percent), and this group now comprises a larger proportion of
the population than those who have attained a high school degree or
less. Therefore, two in five adult residents of the county have an
associates, bachelors or higher degree, which is 11 percentage
points above the figure for the state of Indiana as a whole. The
impact of Purdue University and Ivy Tech Community College on the
demographics of Tippecanoe County is evident in the large numbers
of international migrants and young adults (20-29). Their presence
has also contributed to a high level of racial and ethnic diversity
and impressive educational attainment of adults 25 years old and
over relative to other Indiana counties. Tippecanoe County should
continue to develop the mix of jobs, services and amenities that
will retain and attract educated young adults.
