� TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER � �Z
MEETING DATE: JANUARY 15, 2008
SUBJECT: 2007 POPULATION ESTIMATE
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution setting the population at 49,635
as of December 31, 2007.
BACKGROUND:
The estimated population as of December 31, 2006 was 48,744. Between the end of 2006
and December 31, 2007, an additional 63 single-family construction permits and 12 single-
family demolition permits were issued along with one mobile home demolition permit. An
additional 290 multi-family units and 52 townhouse units were permitted in this same time
frame. A single-family and townhouse household ratio of 2.94 persons per unit and a
99.5% occupancy ratio were applied to the net single-family unit and townhouse 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 891 persons
during 2007 for a total population of 49,635 persons by December 31, 2007.
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.
