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 />Table 2-3: Population Change in Surrounding Communities <br />1960-2000 <br />COMMUNITY <br />1960 <br />1970 <br />1980 <br />1990 <br />2000 <br />2010 <br />Percentage <br />Increase <br />2000- <br />2010 <br />Percentage <br />Increase <br />1970- <br />2010 <br />Independence <br />1,446 <br />1,993 <br />2,640 <br />2,822 <br />3,236 <br />3,524 <br />9% <br />77% <br />Long Lake <br />996 <br />1,506 <br />1,747 <br />1,984 <br />1,842 <br />1,780 <br />-3% <br />18% <br />Medina <br />1,472 <br />2,396 <br />2,623 <br />3,096 <br />4,005 <br />4,903 <br />22% <br />105% <br />Minnetonka Beach <br />544 <br />586 <br />575 <br />573 <br />614 <br />522 <br />-15% <br />-11% <br />Minnetrista <br />2,211 <br />2,878 <br />3,236 <br />3,439 <br />4,358 <br />6,384 <br />46% <br />122% <br />Mound <br />5,440 <br />7,572 <br />9,280 <br />9,634 <br />9,435 <br />9,045 <br />4% <br />19% <br />Orono <br />5,643 <br />6,787 <br />6,845 <br />7,285 <br />7,538 <br />7,437 <br />-1% <br />10% <br />Plymouth <br />9,576 <br />18,077 <br />31,615 <br />50,889 <br />65,894 <br />70,720 <br />7% <br />291% <br />Spring Park <br />668 <br />1,087 <br />1,465 <br />1,571 <br />1,717 <br />1,674 <br />-3% <br />54% <br />Tonka Bay <br />1,204 <br />1,397 <br />1,354 <br />1,472 <br />1,547 <br />1,486 <br />4% <br />6% <br />Wayzata <br />3,219 <br />3,700 <br />3,621 <br />3,806 <br />4,113 <br />3,692 <br />-10% <br />0% <br />City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 2, Page 8 <br />
