Abstract: This report examines population change in six Great Lakes states: Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin.1 Our analysis relies on census and census-based data from 1990 to 2015 and on projections to 2040 using scenarios from the Urban Institute’s Mapping America’s Futures model. The Great Lakes states have recently grown in population (albeit more slowly than the US as a whole), with a slowly increasing proportion of the population in prime working age and a slowly diversifying racial and ethnic mix. But if current migration patterns persist and population aging proceeds as expected, by 2040, the region’s population will level off, the prime-working-age population will decrease both as an absolute number and as a share of the total population, and the pace of increasing racial and ethnic diversity will pick up slightly.
