Northern Indiana has experienced steady population growth over the past century (except at the 1990 U.S. census). Between 1980 and 1990, Lake County (which includes the city of Gary) saw a population decline of 47,371 residents, and it was this drop in population that hid the population rise which continued to occur in the majority of the region's other counties. The 2015 Census Estimatehttps://www.census.gov/quickfacts/table/PST045215/18179,18169,18069,18149,18131,18099 {{Dead link|date=February 2022}} has shown that the rural counties (i.e., Wabash and Wells) are seeing a gradual population decline when compared to the gradual increase (or steady) population trend in the more urban counties (i.e., St. Joseph). The trend of rural counties losing population has been observed in various counties in other regions, most notably the Great Plains.

Roughly 10.7% of both Huntington and Wells County live in poverty, as compared to only 15.5% in Pulaski County. At the same time, Northern Indiana, as is the case for much of the Midwest, is predominately made up of people of European heritage. According to the 2010 Census, almost 98% of Whitley County is white, as compared to Lake County (Gary), which is only 64.4% white and 25.9% African American. Lastly, the average family size per household is relatively constant around 3.00 persons per household. In 2010, the average family size per household was 3.66 in LaGrange County, 3.23 in Elkhart County, 3.19 in Lake County, 3.16 in Noble County, 3.15 in Marshall County, and 3.12 in Allen County.{{Cite web|url=http://datamapper.geo.census.gov/map.html|title = Census Demographics}}

Northern Indiana is known for having the third-highest Amish population in the U.S., especially in Allen, Adams, Elkhart, and LaGrange counties.{{cite web |url=http://www2.etown.edu/amishstudies/Largest_Settlements_2008.asp |title=The Twelve Largest Amish Settlements |year=2008 |publisher=Young Center for Anabaptist and Pietist Studies, Elizabethtown College |access-date=October 25, 2013}}

The Inland North dialect of American English is mostly found in the Calumet region of Northern Indiana. The Northern cities vowel shift is recognizable in Northwest Indiana and the Michiana area. However, the rest of Northern Indiana tends to exhibit North Midland dialect, with little recognizable influences.{{Cite web|url=http://aschmann.net/AmEng/#LargeMap4Right|title=American English Dialects|access-date=2013-10-26}} Because of the city's transitional location between the Inland North, North Midland, and Central Midland dialects, Fort Wayne has been difficult for linguists to define, with some labeling speech here "virtually accent neutral," attributed to historical settlement patterns.{{cite web |last=Haynie |first=Devon |url=http://www.journalgazette.net/article/20090315/FEAT/303159989/-1/FEAT11 |title=Hoosier dialects difficult to define |work=The Journal Gazette |date=March 15, 2009 |access-date=October 26, 2013}}

Northern Indiana's economy is primarily based on manufacturing and distribution and transportation. Outside the metropolitan areas, the region's agricultural sector is abundant provided its location within the fertile Corn Belt. Northwest Indiana is also a vital trade and shipping center for the state. The Port of Indiana–Burns Harbor handles more ocean-going cargo than any other Great Lakes port in the U.S.{{Cite web|url=http://www.portsofindiana.com/poi/burns_harbor/executive_summary.cfm|title=Burns Harbor Executive Summary|author=Ports of Indiana|access-date=2013-10-25}}

Northern Indiana is also situated in the heart of the Rust Belt, an area of the U.S. that has suffered deindustrialization and some economic stagnation since the late 20th century.

The Calumet region of Northwest Indiana is home to much heavy industry, notably steel mills. The Calumet region is the nation's second-largest steel-producing area.{{Cite web|url=http://www.nwitimes.com/business/local/u-s-steel-production-up-nearly-percent-in/article_9472870c-47a2-5868-b90f-211fc0220d7b.html|title=U.S. steel production up nearly 8 percent in 2011|author=Times of Northwest Indiana|date=2012-01-03|access-date=2013-10-25}} U.S. Steel's Gary Works (in Gary) was once the largest steel mill in the world and employed 30,000.{{r|Catlin|page=90}} Gary Works remains North America's largest integrated steel mill.{{Cite web|url=http://ir.nisource.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=58458|title=U.S. Steel - Primary Energy Cogeneration Plant at Gary Works Wins National Recognition|author=NiSource|date=1999-10-14|access-date=2013-10-25}}

The north central area of Northern Indiana, centered on Warsaw, is home to several companies specializing in the development and production of orthopedic medical devices. In 2013, nearly one-third of the US$38 billion global orthopedic industry was concentrated in north central Indiana.{{Cite web|url=http://www.grace.edu/graduate-programs/orthopaedic-regulatory-clinical-affairs|title=Orthopaedic Regulatory and Clinical Affairs (ORCA)|author=Grace College and Seminary|access-date=2013-10-25}}

Elkhart and surrounding municipalities in the Michiana region are home to the largest concentration of recreational vehicle and mobile home manufacturers in the U.S., including Forest River, Heartland Recreational Vehicles, Jayco, and Monaco Coach, among several others. In 2013, some 83% of American RVs were produced in Elkhart County.{{Cite web|url=http://ge-hub-roadshow.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/RV-Infographic1.jpg|title=Infographic: Meet the RV Capital of the World|author=Roadshow for Growth and Holly Allen|date=2013-05-24|access-date=2013-10-25}}

The automotive industry is another significant driver of the region's economy. General Motors' Fort Wayne Assembly near Roanoke produces the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. South Bend-based AM General manufactures the civilian Hummer H1 and military Humvee at its Mishawaka assembly plant.

Gambling is an important sector of the region's economy. Northern Indiana is home to three riverboat casinos (Ameristar in East Chicago, Blue Chip in Michigan City, and Horseshoe in Hammond), one land-based casino (Hard Rock in Gary), and one tribal casino (Four Winds in South Bend), owned by the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians.

Natural gas is primarily supplied by the Northern Indiana Public Service Company (NIPSCO), a subsidiary of Merrillville-based NiSource. Electric utilities serving the region include NIPSCO, Indiana Michigan Power (a subsidiary of American Electric Power), and Duke Energy Indiana (a subsidiary of Duke Energy). Four of Indiana's five hydroelectric power plants are located in Northern Indiana. Two are owned by Indiana Michigan Power (the Elkhart and Twin Branch dams on the St. Joseph River) and two are owned by NIPSCO (the Norway and Oakdale dams on the Tippecanoe River). The company also operates two coal-fired power stations in the region: Michigan City Generating Station and R. M. Schahfer in Wheatfield.

Northern Indiana's share of renewable energy generation, particularly solar and wind sources, has increased since the late 2000s. Wind farms are common in rural Benton and White counties, including Fowler Ridge, the largest wind farm in the American Midwest. Upon its completion, the Mammoth Solar project will be the largest in the U.S., covering 13,000 acres across rural Starke and Pulaski counties.{{cite web |last=Ross |first=Doug |date=October 14, 2021 |title=$1.5 billion solar project being planted in NWI |url=https://www.nwitimes.com/business/local/1-5-billion-solar-project-being-planted-in-nwi/article_5fa3f8ec-e714-56a7-820e-84e224efd559.html |work=The Times of Northwest Indiana |access-date=March 11, 2024}}
