MEETING DATE: JANUARY 18, 2005
SUBJECT: 2004 POPULATION ESTIMATE
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution setting the population at 46,684
as of December 31, 2004.
FUNDING SOURCE: N/A
BACKGROUND:
The estimated population as of December 31, 2003 was 46,188. Between the end of 2003
and December 31, 2004, an additional 173 single-family construction permits and 3 single-
family demolition permits were issued. A single-family household ratio of 2.94 persons per
unit and a 99.5% occupancy ratio were applied to the net single-family unit gain. These
ratios and percentages were derived from the 2000 Census information. These
calculations yielded a population gain of 496 persons for a total population of 46,684 on
December 31, 2004.
As the attached chart indicates, Grapevine's population has grown rapidly since 1970.
Steady growth has been experienced in the past 30 years with the only limiting factor being
the availability of residential land.
