CMP Part 2. Community Management Plan Foundation <br />Table 2-4 illustrates that household sizes have been decreasing, while the annual growth in the number of <br />households has remained relatively low compared to suburbs which are growing rapidly. Household size <br />is expected to continue to decline to a level of approximately 2.40 persons per household by 2020. The <br />number of households has increased significantly during the period 2000-2010, reflecting Orono's <br />commitment to providing a wider range of housing options. <br />Table 2-4: Household Trends <br />Year <br />Households <br />Percent Change <br />in Households <br />Household <br />growth <br />Household Size <br />(persons per <br />household) <br />1970 <br />1976 <br />---- <br />3.43 <br />1980 <br />2291 <br />15.94% <br />315 <br />2.99 <br />1990 <br />2613 <br />14.05% <br />322 <br />2.79 <br />2000 <br />2763 <br />5.74% <br />150 <br />2.73 <br />2010 <br />2862 <br />3.58% <br />99 <br />2.63 <br />2020 (Est.) <br />3200 <br />11.81% <br />338 <br />2.53 <br />2030 (Est) <br />3560 <br />11.25% <br />360 <br />2.47 <br />2040 (Est.) <br />1 3900 <br />9.55% <br />1 340 <br />2.44 <br />Sources: 1970-2010 US Census Data; City records; Met Council forecasts <br />City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 2, Page 9 <br />
