MEETING DATE: JANUARY 20, 2004
SUBJECT: 2003 POPULATION ESTIMATE
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution setting the population at 46,188
as of December 31, 2003.
FUNDING SOURCE: N/A
BACKGROUND:
The estimated population as of December 31, 2002 was 45,524. Between the end of 2002
and December 31, 2003, an additional 155 single-family construction permits and five
single-family demolition permits were issued. An additional 110 multi -family units were
permitted in this time. 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. A multi -family household
ratio of 2.25 persons per unit and a 90.8% occupancy ratio were applied to the multi -family
unit gain. These ratios and percentages were derived from the 2000 Census information.
These calculations yielded a population gain of 439 persons for single-family, 225 persons
for multi -family for a total population of 46,188 on December 31, 2003.
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.
