SUV registrations in Indiana up 102% in 5 years

The Indianapolis Star, citing census figures, reports that SUV registrations more than doubled between 1997 and 2002, a rate of increase that was more than double the national average.

"In fact, there are more registered SUVs in Indiana than in Alaska, Delaware, the District of Columbia, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined."

Even at that, Indiana, with 561,000 SUVs, ranked only in 16th place in SUV registrations.

These figures don't include pickup trucks or minivans.
