Total Population Roseville's total population figure has remained fairly stable since 1970. It was 34,439 in 1970 compared to 33,690 in 2000. Projections indicate a moderate growth rate through the year 2020 when Roseville will have 37,000 residents. Residents of Color The extremely low proportion of residents of color is a common feature of many Twin Cities inner ring suburbs. The two largest minority groups are "Asian Americans" at 4.9% of the population and "African American" at 2.8% of the total in 2000 compared to 2.6% and 1.6% respectively in 1990. Hispanic is an ethnic not a race category as such since they can crossover several race categories. The total Hispanic population was 2.0% of the total in 1990 and in 2000. The 1990 Census did not track population by country of origin as was done in 2000. The 2000 Census lists the following as the top five subcategories for Asian Americans in Roseville: Chi- nese (1.7 %), Asian Indian (1 %), Vietnamese (0.7 %), Korean (0.6 %) and Hmong (0.36 %). For those of Hispanic ethnicity the majority identify themselves as of Mexican heritage (1.2% of Roseville's population). Almost all the rest are divided among Central and South American countries of heritage or list no sub classification. English as a Second Language Results on English as a second language have not been released from the 2000 Census yet. According to the 1990 Census 1.7% of Roseville residents said they did not speak English well. About half of those residents (0.8 %) spoke an Asian or Pacific Island language. The only other language of note was Spanish (0.3 %). The rest are not listed. 20
