10 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Metropolitan Council Submission <br />Age demographics <br />Consistent with most other communities across the region, Ramsey’s population is aging. Table 8, <br />shows that the largest segment of the population is in the 40-49 age range which is quite young <br />compared to many other communities in the metropolitan region. It will be important for Ramsey <br />to plan for alternative housing options for these residents as they age so that they can remain in the <br />community. In 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 in the 5-14 <br />age range. <br /> <br />Table 8: Age Distribution <br /> <br />2000 1500 1000 500 0 500 1000 1500 2000 <br />Under 5 <br />5 to 14 years <br />15 to 19 years <br />20 to 29 years <br />30 to 39 years <br />40 to 49 years <br />50 to 59 years <br />60 to 69 years <br />70 to 79 years <br />80 years and over <br />Age <br />Category <br />Age of Ramsey Residents <br />Female <br />Male <br />Source:U.S. Census (2010)
