MEETING DATE: FEBRUARY 18, 2014
SUBJECT: 2013 POPULATION ESTIMATE
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution setting the population at 48,751
as of December 31, 2013.
BACKGROUND:
The estimated population at the end of 2012 was 47,854. Between the end of 2012 and
December 31, 2013, an additional 44 single - family construction permits and 12 single -
family demolition permits were issued. A total of 349 multi- family units permitted in 2012
but not finished until 2013 were added to the 2013 figures. A total of 260 multi - family units
were permitted in 2013 but they have not been finished and will not be added until the
2014 estimates are calculated. This includes 168 units in the Enclave Apartments and 92
units in the Gatehouse. A unit ratio of 2.504 persons per unit and a 94% occupancy ratio
were applied to the unit totals. These ratios and percentages were derived from the 2010
Census data. These calculations yielded a population gain of 897 persons during 2013 for
a total population estimate of 48,751 persons by December 31, 2013.
