1 1 ELK RIVER PARKS & RECREATION <br />With regard to youth demographics, Elk River continues to add younger <br />residents. Since 2010, the youth population has grown by approximately 400. <br />This is expected to continue to over 500 by 2027. Growth has largely come in the <br />8-18 year olds rather than at the younger levels. This trend is expected to shift <br />somewhat to younger age levels leading the way, while the older age groups stay <br />stable or grow slightly. This slowdown in the teenage demographics is a national <br />trend, and not unique to Elk River. <br />This expanding age group in the 2022 to 2027 time frame will be reaching <br />athletic participation ages in the following 5-10 years, and athletic facility <br />demands are likely to grow even more then. <br />Sources: US Census, ESRI <br />AGE POP. <br />2010 <br />POP. <br />2022 <br />TREND <br />FROM <br />2010 <br />TO <br />2022 <br />COHORT <br />FROM <br />2010 TO <br />2022 <br />POP. <br />2027 <br />TREND <br />FROM <br />2022 <br />TO <br />2027 <br />COHORT <br />FROM <br />2022 TO <br />2027 <br /><1 357 355 -2 378 23 <br />1 342 346 4 366 20 <br />2 390 388 -2 407 19 <br />3 353 381 28 393 12 <br />4 417 410 -7 423 13 <br />5 385 384 -1 393 9 38 <br />6 379 396 17 396 0 50 <br />7 402 387 -15 389 2 1 <br />8 367 390 23 384 -6 3 <br />9 372 388 16 386 -2 -24 <br />10 355 396 41 401 5 17 <br />11 347 403 56 398 -5 2 <br />12 355 390 35 33 397 7 10 <br />13 345 386 41 44 393 7 3 <br />14 338 376 38 -14 383 7 -5 <br />15 351 391 40 38 383 -8 -13 <br />16 345 367 22 -50 365 -2 -38 <br />17 335 370 35 -15 372 2 -18 <br />18 308 329 21 -50 337 8 -49 <br />TOTALS 8853 9255 9371 <br />“Since 2010, the youth population has <br />grown by approximately 400 people. <br />This is expected to continue to over <br />500 by 2027.
