to the Metro Area as a whole. <strong>Lakeville</strong> is significantly lower in senior population<br />
compared to Dakota County <strong>and</strong> the Metro Area.<br />
As the <strong>City</strong> matures, its age pr<strong>of</strong>ile will likely become more consistent with the<br />
remainder <strong>of</strong> Dakota County <strong>and</strong> ultimately, the Metropolitan Area. <strong>Lakeville</strong>’s projected<br />
growth through the next decade will still be primarily comprised <strong>of</strong> young families.<br />
However, the <strong>City</strong> must be cognizant <strong>of</strong> the maturation <strong>of</strong> its existing population <strong>and</strong><br />
address its changing demographics in its recreational planning. The 1990 Census<br />
showed a median age <strong>of</strong> 27.9 in the <strong>City</strong>, while the 2000 Census indicated a median<br />
age <strong>of</strong> 31.5. The change in median age illustrates the gradual maturation <strong>of</strong> the <strong>City</strong>’s<br />
population that will continue through 2010 <strong>and</strong> beyond.<br />
