01 introduction Purpose About Harrison County

Introduction Purpose This document provides information and data about Harrison County that can be used to guide local decision- making activities. The Data SnapShot showcases a variety of demographic, economic and labor market information that local leaders, community organizations and others can use to gain a better perspective on current conditions and opportunities in their county. To strengthen the value and usability of the information, we showcase the data using a variety of visual tools, such as charts, graphs and tables. In addition, we offer key points about the data as a way of assisting the user with the interpretation of the information presented. Finally, short takeaway messages are offered at the end of each section in order to highlight some of the more salient findings. section 01

Population change 2000 2010 2013 2020 Total population projections Demography Population change Total population projections The total population is projected to increase by 10 percent between 2013 and 2020. 2000 2010 2013 2020 The total population in Harrison County increased by 14 percent between 2000 and 2013. Natural increase (births minus deaths over that span of time) and domestic migration (the difference between the number of people moving into the county versus moving out) were both major contributors to that expansion. Natural increase showed a net growth of almost 1,700 people, while domestic in-migration outpaced out-migration by more than 1,500 people. International migration also had a net increase of almost 300, indicating that the county experienced an influx of new people from outside the U.S. Components of Population Change, 2000-2013 Total Change 3,292* Natural Increase 1,678 International Migration 283 Domestic Migration 1,526 section 02 *Total change in population differs from the sum of the components due to Census estimation techniques. Residuals (not reported here) make up the difference.

Demography Population pyramids Population pyramids are visual representations of the age distribution of the population by gender. 2000 2013 Male Female Male Female Approximately 50.2 percent of the population was female in 2000 (17,226) and that percent 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. In particular, people 60 and over swelled from 6.8% to 10.3% for males and from 8.5% to 11.8% for females between 2000 and 2013. Individuals of prime working age (20-49 years old) took a dip from 21.9% to 18.7% for males, and from 21.7% to 18.5% for females. Also dropping in percentage points were people under 19 years old. section 02 Source: U.S. Census Bureau – 2000 Decennial Census and 2013 Annual Population Estimates

Demography Race 2000 The number of non-White residents in Harrison County increased by one percentage point between 2000 and 2013. Every race experienced a numerical increase, with Whites gaining the most people. Of the non-White population, Black and Mixed Descent races gained the most people, resulting in the expansion of the population of Other Races from 1 percent to 2 percent of the total population between 2000 and 2013. 2013 section 02 Source: U.S. Census Bureau – 2000 Decennial Census and 2013 Annual Population Estimates

1% 2% Ethnicity Demography Hispanic - 2000 Hispanics are individuals of any race whose ancestry is from Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Spain, the Dominican Republic or any other Spanish- speaking Central or South American country. There were 336 Hispanics residing in Harrison County in 2000. This figure expanded to 672 by 2013, a 100 percent increase. As a result, Hispanics now make up 2 percent of the overall population (versus 1 percent in 2000). 1% Hispanic - 2013 2% section 02 Source: U.S. Census Bureau – 2000 Decennial Census and 2013 Annual Population Estimates

Educational attainment Demography Educational attainment Harrison County witnessed a 3 percent increase in the proportion of adults (25 and older) with an associate’s, bachelor’s 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 80 percent in 2000 to 88 percent in 2013. Residents with less than a high school education fell by 8 percentage points, and those with some college education rose by 1 percentage point from 2000-2013. The number of adults with a college degree or more increased from 19 percent in 2000 to 22 percent in 2013. This was due to a small increase in the percentage with associate’s degrees and persons with a bachelor's degree and above. 2000 2013 section 02 Source: U.S. Census Bureau – 2000 Decennial Census and 2013 ACS

Demography Takeaways The population of Harrison County is expected to grow over the next few years, and if past trends hold, that increase will be largely due to both natural increase (more births than deaths) and domestic migration (more people moving into than out of the county). While Harrison County’s population grew over the 2000-2013 period, it has also been aging. Despite positive growth in its population resulting from domestic migration, the population pyramids show that the county lost several residents in the 20-29 and 30-39 age categories, as well as in the under 20 age grouping. While the population remains largely white and non-Hispanic, the racial and ethnic diversity has been slowly increasing in Harrison County. As such, finding ways to address the needs and opportunities of a diversifying population will be important. The chances are quite strong that the diversity of the county is likely to continue. The educational attainment of adults 25 and over has improved since 2000, but the number with only a high school education continues to be high (at 44 percent). Determining if this could be a barrier to economic growth is a topic worthy of examination. Harrison County may want to explore the mix of services and amenities that will be vital to retaining and attracting educated young adults, including the availability of good quality jobs. section 02

0 1 3 4 Establishments Definition of Company Stages Economy The number of establishments in Harrison County doubled between 2000 and 2011. The rapid growth of establishments was largely due to natural change. Only a handful were due to gains from net migration. As such, 3,016 establishments were launched in the county between 2000-2011 while 1,679 closed, resulting in a gain of 1,337 establishments. An establishment is a physical business location. Branches, stand-alones and headquarters are all considered types of establishments.

Horseshoe Southern Indiana in Elizabeth is the largest establishment-level employer in Harrison County. Tyson Foods and ICON Metal Forming are the main producers of national and global goods, while the Harrison County Hospital and Blue River Services provide primarily local and regional goods and services. Information on the top five establishments by employment comes from ReferenceUSA. ReferenceUSA is a library database service provided by Infogroup, the company that also supplies the list of major employers for Hoosiers by the Numbers. While both NETS and ReferenceUSA contain establishments, differences in data collection processes result in discrepancies between the two sources.

Income and poverty Economy 2000 2006 2013 Total Population in Poverty 7.2% 8.7% 13.0% Minors (up to age 17) in Poverty 9.5% 17.3% Real Median Household Income (2013)* $58,432 $56,182 $50,321 Real Per Capita Income (2013)* $34,182 $33,172 $34,410 The median household income in Harrison County dipped by $8,000 between 2000 and 2013 in real dollars (that is, adjusted for inflation), while average income per person rose by only $200 in real dollars over the same time period. Both the total population in poverty and the number of minors in poverty nearly doubled between 2000 and 2013, with the population of minors in poverty increasing to 17.3 percent in 2013. *Real median household income is the middle income value in the county. Half of the county’s households fall above this line and half below. Real per capita personal income is the average income per person in the county. section 03 Source: U.S. Census Bureau – Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates (SAIPE) and U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis – Regional Personal Income Summary

Economy Income and poverty Median household income in Harrison County has decreased since 2000. However, per capita income has remained about the same over the same time period. Poverty rates for adults and minors have been increasing since 2002 with a sharp increase occurring in 2009. The 2013 rates remain high relative to the early 2000s. section 03 Source: U.S. Census Bureau – Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates (SAIPE) and U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis – Regional Personal Income Summary

Economy Takeaways Growth in the number of establishments in Harrison County occurred in businesses with fewer than 10 employees (the self- employed and Stage 1 enterprises). These are two components of the local economy that are often overlooked but may deserve closer attention by local leaders. Harrison County might focus on policies and programs that strengthen high-growth Stage 2 firms since they employ several people and capture sizable sales. Government and health care industries are employment growth areas for Harrison County. But the large declines in manufacturing industry jobs paying good wages (average of $46,000 a year) and production-related jobs (average wages of $16 per hour) between 2002 and 2013 may have contributed to falling median income levels over that time period. Because real median income has decreased and poverty has nearly doubled in Harrison County since 2000, services targeted to poverty-stricken individuals and households should be considered. This is especially an issue for the expanding number of children in poverty. Promoting job growth for occupations requiring educated workers could help retain adults with higher educational attainment and help increase median income. section 03

Takeaways Labor market Harrison County’s unemployment rate has increased since 2002, swelling to over 9 percent in 2009. The majority of this increase occurred during the period of the Great Recession (approximately 2008–10). The rate has since been decreasing. Concurrent with population increases, the county’s labor force has increased since 2002. However, the increased unemployment rate indicates that new entrants to the labor force may be experiencing difficulties finding a job. Employees that work but do not live in Harrison County tend to commute from surrounding counties. People who commute out of the county for work often travel to other metropolitan areas. Harrison County should assess if a major workforce development training effort should be targeted to the growing number of working age adults struggling to find jobs. Furthermore, determining the human capital attributes of workers who commute to jobs outside the county might be insightful. It may provide the information needed to determine how best to reduce the leakage of educated and skilled workers to surrounding counties. The laborshed and commuteshed data offer solid evidence of the value of pursuing economic and workforce development on a regional (multi-county) basis. section 04

Notes OTM (On the Map): OTM, a product of LEHD program, is used in the county snapshot report to develop commuting patterns for a geography from two perspectives: place of residence and place of work. At the highly detailed level of census blocks, some of the data are synthetic to maintain confidentiality of the worker. However, for larger regions mapped at the county level, the commuteshed and laborshed data are fairly reasonable. OTM includes jobs for a worker employed in the reference as well as previous quarter. Hence, job counts are based on two consecutive quarters (six months) measured at the “beginning of a quarter.” OTM data can differ from commuting patterns developed from state annual income tax returns, which asks a question about “county of residence” and “county of work” on January 1 of the tax-year. OTM can also differ from American Community Survey data, which is based on a sample survey of the resident population. SAIPE (Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates): SAIPE is a U.S. Census Bureau program that provides annual data estimates of income and poverty statistics at various geographic levels. The estimates are used in the administration of federal and state assistance programs. SAIPE utilizes statistical models to estimate data from sample surveys, census enumerations and administrative records. LAUS (Local Area Unemployment Statistics): LAUS is a U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) program that provides monthly and annual labor force, employment and unemployment data by place of residence at various geographic levels. LAUS utilizes statistical models to estimate data values based on household surveys and employer reports. These estimates are updated annually. Annual county- level LAUS estimates do not include seasonal adjustments. LEHD (Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics): LEHD is a partnership between U.S. Census Bureau and State Department of Workforce Development (DWD) to provide labor market and journey to work data at various geographic levels. LEHD uses Unemployment Insurance earnings data and Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages from DWDs and census administrative records related to individuals and businesses. NETS (National Establishment Time Series): NETS is an establishment-level database, not a company-level database. This means that each entry is a different physical location, and company-level information must be created by adding the separate establishment components.
