What We Track

Demographics provide insight into who makes up our region and how populations are shifting over time. CDRPC compiles data on:

  • Population Growth and Decline – Tracking where people are moving.
  • Age Distribution – Understanding how age demographics shape workforce and housing needs.
  • Migration Patterns – Identifying trends in relocation and urban/rural shifts.
  • Household Composition – Examining the size and structure of households.

Why It Matters

Demographic shifts shape the future of public services, economic development, and infrastructure planning. this data helps:

  • School districts plan for changing enrollment numbers.
  • Transportation planners assess future commuting needs.
  • Local governments allocate resources based on population trends.
  • Businesses and developers understand market demand.

Keeping up with who is moving in and who is moving out and how our region is evolving is critical for making smart, data-driven decisions.
