Elk River comprehensive Plan <br /> In 2006 the Minnesota State Demographer's Office projected a <br /> population of 46,638 for the City of Elk River by 2035. While <br /> the City anticipates more growth, it is recognized that the City <br /> desires to preserve its character and that the utility system has <br /> limitations. As such, Elk River anticipates a total population <br /> of 34,890 by 2035. The following projections were made <br /> using a growth rate of 615 people per year, which is based on <br /> the average building permits over the past fifteen years and a _ <br /> household size of three people per household. <br /> Population Estimates and Projections <br /> Table 4-B: Forecasted Population Change: 2015-2035 <br /> Place 2015 Change 2020 Change 2030 Change 2035 Change <br /> Population 2010-2015 2010-2020 2020-2030 2030-2035 <br /> City of Elk 23,172 1% 26,600 16% 31,960 20% 34,890 26% <br /> River <br /> City of 17,498 29% 20,402 50% 25,473 25% 27,673 9% <br /> Otsego <br /> Big Lake 10,456 42% 11,658 58% 13,806 18% 14,857 8% <br /> Township <br /> City of Big 13,581 35% 15,686 56% 19,503 24% 21,370 10% <br /> La ke <br /> Livonia 8,137 37% 9,318 57% 11,454 23% 12,498 9% <br /> Township <br /> City of 7,380 41 % 8,595 64% 10,802 26% 1 1,881 10% <br /> Zimmerman <br /> Sherburne 119,040 35% 134,390 52% 161,990 21 % 175,410 8% <br /> County <br /> State of N/A N/A 5,772,258 9% 6,182,306 7% N/A N!A <br /> Minnesota <br /> Source:Minnesota State Demographer,WSB and City of Elk River (Building Permit Data and Household Size Projections) <br /> J <br /> Y <br /> i� <br /> 22 / Chapter 4: Community Context <br />
