Ramsey 2040 Comprehensive Plan Community Profile <br />Ramsey's population experienced steady growth between 1990 and 2010, slowed from <br />2010 to 2015, and is projected by the Metropolitan Council to steadily increase yet <br />again from 2020 to 2040. <br />As shown in Figure -Ramsey has been outpaced by only Andover in population <br />growth since 1990 and has risen from to the second most populated City in the area. <br />Figure _-: Population of Ramsey compared to surrounding communities, 1970- <br />2010 <br />Neighboring Populations <br />35000 <br />30000 <br />25000 <br />20000 <br />15000 <br />10000 <br />5000 <br />mmi <br />0 <br />1970 <br />1980 <br />1990 2000 <br />2010 <br />Ramsey <br />Champlin <br />Age demographics <br />Consistent with most other communities across the region, Ramsey's population is <br />aging. Figure = shows that the largest segment of the population is in the 40-49 <br />age range which is quite young compared to many other communities in the <br />metropolitan region. It will be important for Ramsey to plan for alternative housing <br />options for these residents as they age so that they can remain in the community. In <br />addition, it will also remain important that Ramsey seek ways to be competitive in <br />retaining younger residents as the data shows the second largest section of residents <br />in the 5-14 age range. <br />Figure _-_: Age of Ramsey residents, 2010 <br />7 <br />
