Ramsey will evolve through citizen -driven, collaborative processes that respect the balance and connectivity <br />between its unique urban, rural, and natural environment for current and future generations. <br />Figure 3: Population Comparison <br />35000 <br />30000 <br />25000 <br />20000 <br />15000 <br />10000 <br />5000 <br />0 <br />1970 <br />Neighboring Populations <br />1980 <br />1990 <br />2000 <br />Andover <br />Ramsey <br />Champlin <br />Anoka <br />Rogers <br />2010 <br />Age demographics <br />Consistent with most other communities across the region, Ramsey's population is aging. Figure <br />shows that the largest segment of the population is in the 40-49 age range which is quite young compared to <br />many other communities in the metropolitan region. It will be important for Ramsey to plan for alternative <br />housing options for these residents as they age so that they can remain in the community. In addition, it will <br />also remain important that Ramsey seek ways to be competitive in retaining younger residents as the data <br />shows the second largest section of residents in the 5-14 age range. <br />City of Ramsey 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update <br />Community Profile <br />Page 7 of 15 <br />
