URBAN DEVELOPMENT <br />Population <br />The Metropolitan Council's 1986 population estimate as reported by the <br />State Planning Agency Demographer estimates Ramsey's population at <br />11,395 comprising 3,102 households. The Metropolitan Council esti- <br />mated that the number of households in the City increased by 132 <br />during 1987 with a total estimated 3,234 households and an estimated <br />population of 11,706. However, in 1987, 194 new residential building <br />permits were issued. Based on actual figures, 184 permits were <br />issued in 1988. Thus, even the most current MC population estimates <br />are considered to be extremely conservative. While the City has not <br />undertaken a special census, on the basis of the number of building <br />II permits issued and known vacant houses, it is believed that the City's <br />current (12/88) population exceeds 12,000. This compares 4o MC's <br />"official" population estimate of 12,600 for the year 2000''.
