CMP Part 2. Community Management Plan Foundation <br /> <br /> <br />City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 2, Page 8 <br /> Source: U.S. Census, Metropolitan Council <br /> <br />Surrounding communities have undergone varied rates of population increase in recent decades, as shown <br />in Table 2-3. Among cities that have a smaller geographic area that has been developed for many years <br />(Long Lake, Mound, Spring Park, Tonka Bay, Wayzata) the population increase over the period 1970- <br />2010 has been relatively small, ranging from 0%-20%, with Spring Park being the anomaly in that it grew <br />by nearly 54%, due to the construction of many multi-family housing units. Among those cities that have <br />a larger geographic area approaching township size, the population increase for Independence, <br />Minnetrista, & Medina was approximately 77 to 122%, with Plymouth and Orono at opposite ends of a <br />much wider range. While Plymouth more than quadrupled its population over 30 years, Orono’s increased <br />by only 10%. <br /> <br />Table 2-3: Population Change in Surrounding Communities 1960-2000 <br />COMMUNITY 1960 1970 1980 1990 2000 2010 <br />Percentage <br />Increase <br />2000- <br />2010 <br />Percentage <br />Increase <br />1970- <br />2010 <br />Independence 1,446 1,993 2,640 2,822 3,236 3,524 9% 77% <br />Long Lake 996 1,506 1,747 1,984 1,842 1,780 -3% 18% <br />Medina 1,472 2,396 2,623 3,096 4,005 4,903 22% 105% <br />Minnetonka Beach 544 586 575 573 614 522 -15% -11% <br />Minnetrista 2,211 2,878 3,236 3,439 4,358 6,384 46% 122% <br />Mound 5,440 7,572 9,280 9,634 9,435 9,045 -4% 19% <br />Orono 5,643 6,787 6,845 7,285 7,538 7,437 -1% 10% <br />Plymouth 9,576 18,077 31,615 50,889 65,894 70,720 7% 291% <br />Spring Park 668 1,087 1,465 1,571 1,717 1,674 -3% 54% <br />Tonka Bay 1,204 1,397 1,354 1,472 1,547 1,486 -4% 6% <br />Wayzata 3,219 3,700 3,621 3,806 4,113 3,692 -10% 0% <br /> <br />Year 1970 1980 1990 2000 2010 2020 2030 2040 <br />Population 6,787 6,845 7,285 7,538 7,437 8,100 8,800 9,500 <br />Households 1,976 2,291 2,613 2,766 2,826 3,200 3,560 3,900 <br />Persons per Household 3.43 2.99 2.79 2.73 2.63 2.53 2.47 2.44 <br />Employment 500 809 980 951 1,562 1,700 1,780 1,800 <br />Table 2-2: Orono Population, Households, & Employment 1970 - 2040
