REGIONAL DATA <br /> Metro Area <br /> Minneapolis-Saint Paul is the most populous urban area in Minnesota, and is composed of <br /> 186 cities and townships. Built around the Mississippi, Minnesota and St. Croix rivers, the <br /> area is also nicknamed The Twin Cities for its two largest cities, Minneapolis and Saint Paul. <br /> Saint Paul is the second largest city in Minnesota, as well as the state capital. <br /> The area is part of a larger U.S. Census division named Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN- <br /> WI, the country's 16th-largest metropolitan area, composed of eleven counties in Minnesota and <br /> two counties in Wisconsin. This larger area, in turn, is enveloped in the U.S. Census combined <br /> statistical area called Minneapolis-St. Paul-St. Cloud, MN-WI with an estimated population of <br /> 3.5 million people in 2006, ranked the 13th most populous in the U.S. <br /> In both of the fully developed central cities--Minneapolis and St. Paul--the population has <br /> declined due to smaller household sizes, yet growth in other areas of their counties has been <br /> more than offsetting. Below is detailed where this growth has occurred: <br /> POPULATION <br /> Census Census Census Forecast Growth Growth <br /> County 1990 2000 2010 2015 2000-2010 2010-2015 <br /> total annual total annual <br /> Hennepin 1,032,431 1,116,200 1,152,425 1,165,830 3.3% 0.3% 1.2% 0.2% <br /> cu <br /> Ramsey 485,765 511,035 508,640 491,820 -0.5% -0.1% -3.3% -0.7% <br /> Dakota 275,227 355,904 398,552 437,520 12.0% 1.2% 9.8% 2.0% m' <br /> N <br /> Anoka 243,641 298,084 330,844 374,350 11.0% 1.1% 13.2% 2.6% 3 <br /> N <br /> Washington 145,896 201,130 238,136 257,760 18.4% 1.8% 1 8.2% 1.7% <br /> Scott 57,846 89,498 129,928 186,820 45.2% 4.5% 43.8% 8.8% <br /> Wright 68,710 89,986 124,700 159,640 38.6% 3.9% 28.0% 5.6% <br /> ci <br /> Carver 47,915 70,205 91,042 114,870 29.7% 3.0% 26.2% 5.2% <br /> Sherburne 41,945 64,417 88,499 119,040 37.4% 3.7% 34.5% 6.9% 0 <br /> Chisago 30,521 1 41,101 53,887 67,880 31.1% 3.1% 26.0% 5.2% <br /> Isanti 25,921 31,287 37,816 51,730 20.9% 2.1% 36.8% 7.4% <br /> Total 2,455,818 2,868,847 3,116,653 3,427,260 9.8% 1.0% 10.0% 2.0% <br /> Overall, the area has experienced moderate to good income growth.
