This slow down in growth is due to an overall population aging in the <br />metropolitan area that creates an area-wide slow down in growth. The Metropolitan Council <br />demographer projects Ramsey population will continue to increase at a consistent rate. The <br />Metropolitan Council projections have the population in the year 1990 to be 13,293 and in the <br />year 2000 to be 14,790. Projections are considered to be Iow estimates by the Metropolitan <br /> <br />15' <br /> <br /> <br />
