Steady growth is seen from the year 2000, <br />when the population was under 15,510, to now (Metropolitan <br />Council, 2018). This growth in our population is projected to <br />reach 39,500 residents living in 13,500 different households by <br />2040 (2040 Comp Plan). <br />Alongside population trends, household dynamics have shifted. <br />Within Ramsey's 9,211 households; 30.45% are married families <br />with children, 9.34% are unmarried families with children, <br />41.17% are families without children, 15.11% lived alone, and <br />the remaining 3.93% are non -family households (The American <br />Communities Survey, U.S. Census Bureau, 2013-2017),In <br />comparison to the 2000 data, notable changes are seen. The <br />most significant change is a decrease in married families with <br />children. A portion the reduction can be attributed to the <br />increases of unmarried families with children, families without <br />children, and in those who lived alone. Household types can give <br />a glimpse into life in Ramsey however, additional population <br />information is necessary to gain a more encompassing look. <br />14 I CITY OF RAMSEY PARK SYSTEM PLAN <br />
