Indianapolis / Indianapole
 |
According to 1997 population figures,
Indianapolis is the 12th largest city in the United States with
approximately 814,000 inhabitants contained in 403 square miles.
When the surrounding metropolitan areas are included (bringing the area
covered to 3,089 square miles), Indianapolis ranks 31st in the nation with
approximately 1.5 million people. The ethnic
composition of the city from those same 1997 figures is 77% white/caucasian,
21% african-american, 1.5% hispanic, and .5% other.
The city is economically strong with an estimated 2.7%
unemployment rate (Chamber of Commerce data, 1999), and is home to
numerous national and international corporations. Because of its
convenient location in the midwest, Indianapolis is frequently referred to
as the "crossroads of America". As evidence of this, more
than one half of the nation's population lives within a day's drive of
Indianapolis.
Despite its size and favorable geographical location,
Indianapolis was not the first choice as a state capital. That honor
went to Corydon, Indiana, which is located in Harrison County at the
southern edge of the state. The state capital was moved to
Indianapolis in 1825 (9 years after Indiana became the 19th state). |

Indianapolē dzīvo apmēram 814.000 iedzīvotāju, un
ir 403 kvadrātjūdžu apmērā. Kad ieskaita pilsētas
apkārtni ar visām priekšpilsētām (3.089 kvadrātjūdžu
apmērā), Indianapole skaitās 31. lielākā ASV pilsēta
ar 1,5 miljoniem iedzīvotāju.
Etniskā kompozīcija 1997. gadā bija
sekojošā: 77% balti, 21% melni, 2% citas izcelsmes.
Pilsēta ir ekonomiski labā stāvoklī,
ar 2,7% bezdarbnieku (1999. gada tirdzniecības palātas dati), un
te atrodas vairākas nacionālas un internacionālas korporācijas.
Tāpēc ka Indianapole atrodas ASV vidienē, viņu bieži
sauc par ,,Amerikas krustceļu". Vairāk kā puse
Amerikas iedzīvotāju dzīvo ne vairāk kā vienas
dienas brauciena attālumā. |
