ANOKA COUNTY HOUSING STUDY DEMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS
<br />Table A-1: Ponulation and Household Growth Trends and Projections
<br />• Over the last decade, Anoka County grew by approximately 46,060 people (+15.4%) and
<br />18,995 households (+17.8%) to reach a total of 344,250 people and 125,470 households as of
<br />2010.
<br />• Ongoing growth in Anoka County is due, in large part, to limited land available closer to the
<br />urban core to accommodate new housing. As the Minneapolis -St. Paul Metro Area continues
<br />to expand, Anoka County is positioned to capture an increasing share of new household
<br />growth. Growth through 2020 is projected for 43,195 people (+12.5%) and 18,670
<br />households (+14.9%).
<br />• The following chart presents submarket growth over the next decade in descending order of
<br />numerical change. As the chart shows, Blaine, Circle Pines, & Lexington submarket is
<br />calculated to be the household growth leader with the addition of over 5,480 households,
<br />which accounts for about 30% of household growth in Anoka County overall.

<br />• Since each new household will require a housing unit, the submarket leaders in Anoka
<br />County will be the geographies in which the greatest number of housing units will be needed.
<br />• The average household size in nearly every submarket has been declining since 1990 and is
<br />forecast to continue to decline through 2020. For the County overall, the average household
<br />size is projected to decrease from 2.96 in 1990 to 2.69 in 2020.
<br />Table A-2: Residential Construction Trends
<br />• Permits were issued in Anoka County for the construction of over 17,440 new residential
<br />units from 2001 to 2009; this equates to an average of about 1,940 new units annually.
