Population Forecasts
What is Forecasting? Forecasting uses current and historical trends interpreted into graphs and percentages. We then use these projections to model what our county may look like in 20–40 years.
Forecast by Race and Ethnicity
This UOP Center for Business and Policy Research (CBPR) projection shows our region’s racial and ethnic make-up based on 2010 and 2015 trends. It shows our growing populations will be primarily Hispanic, while our White populations will grow at a much slower rate than in the past.
Forecast by Age
This CBPR forecast shows the 0–19 age group rapidly growing. The 40–50 group will grow more slowly while the 20–39 category will make up most of our population.
