The Northwest Indiana
Region is located in the
upper northwest tier of the
state and is part of the
Chicago metropolitan
region. Major interstates,
including I-90, I-94, I-65
and I-80, traverse through
the region. Indiana Toll
Road passes through this
portion of the state. The
region is comprised of the
following Indiana counties:
Lake
LaPorte
Porter

What is a regional snapshot?
What is the snapshot?
The regional snapshot is a demographic and
economic assessment of the Northwest Region
in Indiana. Using county-level data, PCRD
analyzed a number of indicators to gauge key
patterns and trends in the region.
What is its purpose?
The snapshot is intended to inform local and
regional 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 Northwest Indiana 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 Force
Industry and Occupation
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 2013, the population in the Northwest Region
represented almost 11.7 percent of the overall
Indiana population, compared to 12.1 percent in
2002. If the trend holds, the Northwest Region
population will continue to represent about 12
percent of Indiana’s overall population.
The Northwest Indiana Region experienced a
population gain of 3.4 percent between 2002
and 2013. The rest of the state grew by more
than 7 percent during that same time period.

period. The rest of Indiana is expected to grow by
4.3 percent (250,567 people) over that same
period of time.
The Northwest Indiana Region gained population,
albeit at a slower pace than the rest of the state
over the past decade. However, the region’s
population is expected to keep pace with the
remainder of the state between 2013 and 2020.

Males outnumber females in the younger age cohorts
(specifically in the 0 to 29 years range) in the Northwest
Indiana Region and the rest of the state. The share of
Northwest’s population that is 50 years old and over
constitutes 35 percent (or 270,653 people) of the overall
population compared to 34 percent of the population in
the rest of the state. Additionally, the two oldest age
groups (70-79 and 80 plus years old) make up nearly 10
percent of Northwest’s population, slightly higher than the
9 percent of the population found in this age grouping in
the rest of the state. When contrasted with the remainder
of the state, the Northwest Region has a smaller proportion
of people in the following younger age categories: 0-9, and
20-29 years old.

On the other hand, real personal income
increased in the 2002 to 2013 period
(from $35,661 to $39,370), possibly
the result of increasing income
inequality in the region.
Meanwhile, the proportion of the
population classified as living in poverty
increased steadily from 2002 to 2013,
as did the proportion of minors in
poverty. Nearly 21 percent of residents,
and 25 percent of minors, in the region
were classified as impoverished in
2013.

Educational attainment is an important
indicator of the skills of a population.
In 2013, 36 percent of Northwest residents
(25 years of age or higher) had a high school
education, 1 percentage point higher than
the rest of the state.
However, the proportion of adults with a
bachelor’s degree or more was lower in the
Northwest Indiana Region compared to the
rest of the state (20 percent versus 24
percent). On the other hand, the percentage
of adults with an associate’s degree was the
same in both the Northwest Indiana Region
and the remainder of the state.
In general, adult residents of the
Northwest Region have an educational
attainment profile that mirrors that found
in the remainder of the state. The only
exception is at the higher educational
tier. About 20 percent of adults in the
region have a baccalaureate degree or
higher, 4 percentage points lower than
that found in the rest of the state.

Four-year high school graduation rates
More than eight of every 10
Northwest Region students
successfully graduated from high
school after four years (in 2010).
This was almost 3 percentage
points behind the rest of Indiana.
The rate for four-year graduates
rose to 89.6 percent by 2014 in
the Northwest Region, a figure
that continued to lag behind the
rate for the rest of the state.
However, the graduation rate gap
decreased by about 1.6
percentage points in 4 years.
High schools in the Northwest
Indiana Region have increased
their graduate rates; however, the
rest of the state still outperforms
the region.

Average patents* (2001-2013)
Human capital
The number of patents issued
is an important indicator of the
level of innovation in a region.
Furthermore, success in
commercializing these
innovations can lead to long-
term growth for a region.
When it comes to
innovation, the Northwest
region is lagging behind
the rate for the rest of the
state.
The data make clear that the
needs more efforts in creating
a culture of innovation.
*Average patents refers to the average patent rate over
time, either patents per jobs or patents per residents.
Source: U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, EMSI, U.S. Census: Population Estimates
Note: Patent origin is determined by the residence of the first-named inventor. Since many
workers commute into the region, the number of patents produced in the region could be
high. However, among residents of the region, patent production is relatively low.
Average Patents per
10,000 residents,
2001-2013
From 2001 to 2013, 0.7 patents per
10,000 residents were issued in
Northwest counties. The rest of
Indiana amassed 2.2 patents per
10,000 residents.
Average Patents per
10,000 Jobs,
2001-2013
From 2001 to 2013, Northwest
counties were issued patents at a
rate of 1.6 per 10,000 jobs, while
the remaining Indiana counties
garnered 4 patents per 10,000 jobs.

Unemployment rates Prior to the onset of the Great
Recession around 2008, the
Northwest Region’s unemployment
rate was slightly higher than the
rest of the state.
The major spike in the region’s
unemployment rate occurred at
the start of the recession in 2008,
resulting in an unemployment rate
of 10.6 percent by 2009, slightly
higher than the figure for the rest
of Indiana.
While the unemployment rate gap
between the region and the rest of
the state began to close in 2010
and 2011, it increased in 2013.
The unemployment in the region
was 1.5 percentage points higher
than the rest of the state by 2013.
Northwest’s unemployment rate
was just shy of 9 percent in 2013.

Real earnings per worker
The real earnings* per worker
was constructed by averaging
earnings for all industries in the
Northwest Region and the rest of
Indiana.
The Northwest Region and the
rest of Indiana registered an
increase in real earnings per
worker over the 2008 to 2013
time period, but the rate of
growth was modest. As a result,
the earnings gap between the
two regions decreased slightly.
Real earnings per worker in the
Northwest Region remained
nearly $1,000 dollars above the
amount earned by workers in the
rest of Indiana in 2013.

A region’s labor shed is
the geographic area
from which it draws
employees.
In 2011, the Northwest Region
was employed at total of
290,000 people. Almost 22
percent of these individuals
traveled from surrounding
counties to work in the region.
On the other hand, 78 percent of
jobs in the region were held by
Northwest residents.
In a nutshell, almost four-fifths of
the region’s labor force is
comprised of people who both
live and work in the Northwest
Region (in 2011).

The Northwest Region draws its labor
force largely from its own counties and
surrounding counties.
Seventy-five percent of the region’s workers
come from two of the three counties that make
up the Northwest Region: Lake County and
Porter County, Indiana.
Extending the threshold to 80 percent,
LaPorte County, Indiana, the third county of the
Northwest Region, enters into the labor shed
region.
Cook County, Illinois, and Jasper County,
Indiana, are part of the 85 percent labor shed
region.

employed residents in the
Northwest Region commute to
jobs located outside of the
region. The remaining 69

The Northwest Indiana Region’s
commuting pattern involves a small
number of counties, all located in the
region or in nearby Cook County,
Illinois.
Approximately 75 percent of the residents who
live in the region and are part of the labor force
are employed in three counties: Lake and Porter
Counties in Indiana and Cook County, Illinois .
Clearly, a large number of residents commute to
Chicago for work purposes.
Another major work location for the region’s
residents is LaPorte County, Indiana. Including
LaPorte County in the commuter shed accounts
for 85 percent of the Northwest Region’s
residents’ work locations.

Establishments’ component change
The Northwest Region gained 21,661 new establishments between 2000 and 2011. Most of
the gain came from natural change (births minus deaths of establishments). Births surpassed
deaths by 20,830 establishments.
More establishments migrated into the Northwest Region than migrated out to locations in non-
Northwest counties. The result is a net gain of 831 establishments from migration.

The self-employed (Stage 0) and small Stage 1 establishments had
impressive gains in jobs between 2000 and 2011. Stage 2
establishments that employ 10 to 99 workers suffered a slight drop
in jobs (2 percent), while Stage 3 establishments lost 3 percent of
their positions. However, the largest firms (Stage 4) experienced
employment decline of nearly 42 percent. The net result is an overall
increase of approximately 17,000 jobs in the region between 2000
and 2011.

Mature Industries
Few industry clusters in the Northwest Region are in
the Mature stage. Mature clusters are relatively
concentrated, but their growth is trending downward.
Biomedical/Biotechnical, Mining, Transportation and
Logistics, and Machinery Manufacturing are the
mature clusters. It is worth noting, however, that the
Northwest 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 future
economy of the region.
Transforming Industries
Transforming clusters are relatively small and
declining industries. In the Northwest Region, the
Defense and Security, Arts and Entertainment,
Education and Knowledge Creation and Apparel and
Textile clusters are transforming industries. Any
amount of growth in these industries would require
relatively large investments.
STAR Industries
The most highly concentrated Star industry cluster in the
Northwest Region is Primary Metal Manufacturing with a
location quotient (LQ) of 24. Significant star clusters
include Advanced Materials and Manufacturing with
around 30,000 jobs each. Other Star clusters include
Transportation and Logistics, Energy, Chemicals and
Glass and Ceramics. The region has significant
transportation assets with several interstates and
freight railroads. Proximity to Chicago is an advantage
as significant logistics assets and warehousing are
being developed in the Chicago-Joliet metropolitan area.
Emerging Industries
Industry clusters that may be poised for growth are
classified as “Emerging.“ In the Northwest Region,
several industry clusters are Emerging. These clusters
have gained strength from 2008 to 2013 and may
emerge as important economic forces in the future.
Clusters that are worthy of note are the three
Manufacturing subclusters noted in the previous slide,
as well as IT and Telecommunications.

The top five occupations in the
Northwest Indiana Region account for
48 percent of all jobs.
The largest occupation classification consists of
Sales and Related occupations, with 13 percent of
all jobs in the region linked to this category. This is
followed closely by Office and Administrative
Support occupations at 12 percent.
Rounding out the top five occupations in the
region are Food Preparation and Serving Related
occupations at 9 percent, Production occupations
at 7 percent, and Transportation and Material
Moving occupations at 7 percent of all jobs in the
Northwest Region.

section 05
STEM and STEM-related occupations
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and
Math) jobs decreased slightly in the Northwest
Region, a trend that was at odds with the rest of
Indiana during the post Great Recession
recovery period.
The decline in STEM occupations in Northwest
Indiana was due to job losses in computer and
mathematical occupations, as well as
engineers, architects, and sales and related
occupations between 2008 and 2013.

state of the region. The information offers local leaders,
organizations, agencies and residents with food for thought
in how to build on the existing and emerging assets of the
region.
Demography
•The Northwest Region demographic profile similar to the
rest of Indiana. Despite a slightly older population, the
percentage of people in the region in prime working age
cohorts is very similar to the rest of the state. The region
should assess its capacity to address the needs and
opportunities associated with an aging population.
Human Capital
•The educational level of adults in the region is aligned with
those of the rest of the state, although the percentage with
at least baccalaureate degree is slightly lower in the
Northwest Region. Assess the human capital and workforce
needs of firms in the region and determine how well the
skills of the labor force sync with them.
Economic Development
•Assess the human capital attributes of residents who
commute to work outside of the region. Those endowed
with medium or high 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 Stage
1 and Stage 2 establishments, since they are key sources
of jobs and sales in the region. These establishments will
likely serve as key generators of new jobs in the region.
•Consider investing in the Star and Emerging industry
clusters that align with the long-term goals of the region.
These are the areas in which the region has a competitive
economic edge relative to the nation as a whole.
