Population<br />

According to the Census, <strong>Lakeville</strong>’s population was 43,128 persons in 2000. <strong>Lakeville</strong><br />

was one <strong>of</strong> the fastest growing municipalities in the region during the 1980s <strong>and</strong> 1990s.<br />

Since most communities north <strong>of</strong> <strong>Lakeville</strong> are nearly fully developed, <strong>Lakeville</strong> will<br />

continue to experience growth as the Metro Area furthers its outward expansion. Young<br />

families will continue to migrate to <strong>Lakeville</strong>, creating an increased need for family<br />

recreational programs <strong>and</strong> facilities. The <strong>City</strong> also expects to retain many <strong>of</strong> its current<br />

residents. As current residents mature, the population will require recreational<br />

programs <strong>and</strong> facilities for all ages. As <strong>Lakeville</strong> also becomes fully developed,<br />

population <strong>and</strong> employment growth will begin to taper <strong>of</strong>f around 2030. Table 4 shows<br />

historic <strong>and</strong> projected population, household <strong>and</strong> employment growth from 1980 to<br />

2030. Table 5 displays the historic <strong>and</strong> projected percentage growth rates for<br />

population, household <strong>and</strong> employment in <strong>Lakeville</strong> from 1990 to 2030.<br />

Age Distribution<br />

As illustrated in Table 6, The 1990 Census <strong>and</strong> the 2000 Census provide historical<br />

figures regarding <strong>Lakeville</strong>’s population distribution by age category. <strong>Lakeville</strong>’s<br />

residential growth continues to be largely generated by young families. As a result, the<br />

community’s age pr<strong>of</strong>iles are dominated by children <strong>and</strong> adolescents younger than 14<br />

years <strong>and</strong> by adults age 25 to 44. The percentage <strong>of</strong> the total population in these<br />

categories exceeds those <strong>of</strong> Dakota County <strong>and</strong> the Seven-County Metro Region. In<br />

contrast, <strong>Lakeville</strong> has fewer young adults 15 to 24 <strong>and</strong> older adults over 45 compared<br />
