Avon is still adding residents, and people who just moved in are picking local businesses for the first time.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Avon's population grew from 6,248 in the 2000 Census to 12,446 in the 2010 Census to 21,474 in the 2020 Census. The Census Bureau’s estimate for July 1, 2024 puts Avon at 24,735 residents, 15.1% more than its April 2020 estimates base.
Hendricks County overall reached 174,788 residents in the 2020 Census, up from 145,448 in 2010. The Census Bureau’s estimate put the county at 193,510 on July 1, 2025. Its 1.4% gain in the year to July 2025 was the sixth-fastest of Indiana’s 92 counties.
Use current customer questions and available search evidence to review the marketing plan. Word of mouth, search and other channels can play different roles. A population change alone does not establish which channel will produce appropriate inquiries.
Before picking a channel, we check which searches already bring you calls, using your Google Business Profile and website data.
Who actually lives in Avon
Every Avon resident the Census Bureau counts lives in Washington Township, Hendricks County. So we’d name Avon, Washington Township and Hendricks County together on your service-area page. We don’t plan around town averages for income or age. We start with your customer records: where past customers live, what they bought and how they found you.
In the customer path below, people check two things before they call: your Google Business Profile and your website. We’d get those right before adding a channel.
How Avon customers actually find businesses now
Here's the customer path we plan Avon marketing around in 2026, from the first search to the first call or form:
Step 1. Customer searches Google or asks an AI tool like ChatGPT or Google AI Overviews for recommendations.
Step 2. Customer scans the top three Google local pack results, plus any AI cited businesses.
Step 3. Customer clicks into Google Business Profiles to read reviews and check photos.
Step 4. Customer visits two to three websites of the businesses that look most credible.
Step 5. Customer either calls, fills out a form, or texts. The business then needs to assess the request and explain the appropriate next step.
Each step deserves a clear owner and a completion check. Review the full path to find missing information, failed actions or a handoff that needs attention.
Why suburb level matters more than citywide
When a customer searches "dentist near me" from a Hendricks County zip code, Google's local algorithm weighs proximity heavily. A practice with an address on the far side of Indianapolis rarely shows up in that local pack.
That’s why we’d aim an Avon business’s pages and ads at Avon and Hendricks County searches instead of the whole metro. That way your pages and ad money go to people close enough to become customers.
A newer, smaller business can still show up here if its profile and pages match what Avon customers search for.
