City Center Supporting Demographics The Roseville City Center study included a task to define the resident users and the needs they may have served by the City Center facilities. For study purposes, two types of users were identified: the pedestrian user who could walk up to 'h mile to the Center, and the residents who live or work more than Y2 mile from the Center. For study purposes, the area within a Y2 mile radius is called the City Center Neighborhood. Within the 'h mile radius of the Center, the characteristics of the population have changed dramatically in the past ten years, partially because the neighborhood is naturally aging and partially from the new single occupant in-migration to apartments, condos, and senior housing projects. While the City Center neighborhood population (9,275) has remained stable, increasing by less than 225 residents (2.4%), the household units have increased by over 475 units (12%). In 1999, the resident count per household was down slightly to 2.09 residents per household. The number of 1 person households has increased dramatically (58%), while other types oflarger households have declined by at least 14%. The population average age increased by 5 years to 45, while the head of household average age increased to 57 years. In terms of household age, the largest increase (91 %) was for those over age 75. The second largest increase (38%) was for the 45 to 54 age group. The heads of household under age 34 declined by 21 %. Thirty-six percent of the heads of household population are now over the age of 65.
