As younger and olde r singles increase, more housing units <br />will be needed. <br /> <br />While population per household ha s been declining nationally in the last 50 years, the <br />housing size has been increasing (from 1,000 s.f. in 1950 to 2,300s.f. in 2003) <br /> <br />Households move less as they age. While 29 to 31% of 24-34 year olds move annually, <br />only 3% to 5% of those over 65 move a nnually. In 1990 20% of the population moved <br />annually, while in 2000 it had declined to 14%. <br /> <br /> <br />\\metro-inet.us\Roseville\CommDev\Data\Demographics\Census 2000 and Trends\Hazel Reinhardt on Demographics(120705).doc
