City of Arden Hills – 2040 Comprehensive Plan <br /> <br /> <br />Approved:, 2018 <br />2-3 <br /> From 2000 to 2010, Arden Hills experienced a slight decline in population. This is <br />consistent with all other communities in the vicinity. However, the Seven County <br />Metro Area grew 7.85% during this same time period. <br /> The City’s most rapid growth occurred during the 1970s when the City grew by <br />56 percent. <br /> The City’s population nearly doubled between 1970 and 2000 when it increased <br />approximately 87 percent. <br /> Arden Hills is forecasted to experience a 35% jump in population between 2010 <br />and 2040. Most of the projected growth is anticipated to occur on the proposed <br />Rice Creek Commons property redevelopment. <br /> <br /> <br />Figure 2.2 – Arden Hills Age Distribution 2000, 2010, 2015 <br />Source: US Census & American Community Survey <br />0 <br />200 <br />400 <br />600 <br />800 <br />1000 <br />1200 <br />1400 <br />1600 <br />1800 <br />Under <br />5 <br />5 to 9 10 to <br />14 <br />15 to <br />19 <br />20 to <br />24 <br />25 to <br />34 <br />35 to <br />44 <br />45 to <br />54 <br />55 to <br />59 <br />60 to <br />64 <br />65 to <br />74 <br />75 to <br />84 <br />85 and <br />over <br />2000 2010 2015 <br /> <br /> <br /> The median age of Arden Hills residents has remained stable over the last fifteen <br />years. In the year 2000, it was 36.2. By 2010, it had dropped down to 34.8. The <br />latest population estimates show that it has increased back to 36.7 in the year <br />2015. <br /> The proportion of people over age 55 is anticipated to increase greatly from 2000 <br />to 2015, increasing from 23 percent to 32 percent of the population. <br /> The relatively stable and higher percentage of population in the 18-24 age group <br />from 2000 to 2015 is likely due to the student populations at Bethel University <br />and Northwestern College. <br />Dr <br />a <br />f <br />t <br /> <br />11 <br />/ <br />2 <br />0 <br />/ <br />2 <br />0 <br />1 <br />7
