SECTIONFOURIsland Descriptioninstallations in Barrigada. The Government of <strong>Guam</strong> has no authority in these areas, whichoccupy approximately 29 percent of the island’s total land area.The U.S. Department of Defense has developed the <strong>Guam</strong> Military Buildup Program, which willinvolve the movement of forces and equipment of the U.S. Army, Air Force, Marines, and Navyfrom other areas to <strong>Guam</strong>. The program was initiated in May 2006 and construction, which willtake place at military sites throughout the island, was initially expected to be completed in 2014.However, construction has been delayed and may not be complete until 2020. Once completed,the program will increase the total number of military personnel on active duty from 6,420 toapproximately 18,930 (see Section 4.9.2 [Military Buildup] for additional information).4.5 POPULATIONThe estimated 2010 population in <strong>Guam</strong> is 180,692. According to U.S. Census estimates,between 2000 and 2010, <strong>Guam</strong> was expected to undergo a 16.72 percent population increase.This level of growth was forecasted to decline slightly during the following decade, as shown inTable 4-1, with an estimated population increase of 12.46 percent between 2010 and 2020. Theproportional distribution between villages of the population of <strong>Guam</strong> is not expected todrastically change through 2020. Data from the 2010 Census were not available at the time the2011 HMP was updated, so 2010 Census results are not incorporated in this document. Also, thepopulation projections provided do not include new growth due to the U.S. military buildup,which may increase the population growth rate that will occur between 2010 and 2020. For moreinformation on the military buildup, see Section 4.9.2 (Military Buildup).Census data and projections for 2000 and 2010 indicate uniform population growth across <strong>Guam</strong>,with nearly all villages experiencing an approximate 16.7 percent increase in population between2000 and 2010, with the exception of Piti, which is forecast to have a population increase ofapproximately 16.8 percent. The Census estimate of the population increase from 2010 to 2020also shows uniformity across the villages, with Census data projecting most villages and <strong>Guam</strong>as a whole to undergo a 12.5 percent population increase, with Merizo, Piti, and Talofofoprojected to undergo a 12.4 percent increase. The Risk Assessment in this 2011 <strong>Guam</strong> HMP (seeSection 5 [Risk Assessment]) uses the 2010 population estimates shown in Table 4-1.Dededo, which is geographically one of the largest villages, has the largest population.Figure D-5 shows the locations of several densely populated areas. Agana Heights, Agat,Barrigada, Mangilao, Mongmong-Toto-Maite, Santa Rita, Sinajana, Tamuning, and Yigo haveareas of dense populations. Most island populations are centered in a geographically narrowpoint in the approximate center of the island, which is also the largest urbanized area of <strong>Guam</strong>.As illustrated on Figure D-5, the majority of <strong>Guam</strong> has a relatively low population density and isconsidered rural.Table 4-1 Population of <strong>Guam</strong>, 1990–2020Village 2000 2008 (estimated) 2010 (estimated) 2020 (estimated)Agana Heights 3,940 4,476 4,599 5,172Agat 5,656 6,426 6,602 7,425Asan/Maina 2,090 2,374 2,439 2,744Barrigada 8,652 9,830 10,099 11,358Chalan Pago-Ordot 5,923 6,729 6,913 7,7754-4

Thus, as of 2000, 59,535 people on <strong>Guam</strong>, or 38.5 percent ofthe total population, are 19 years old or younger; 8,215 people, or 5.3 percent of the totalpopulation, are 65 years old or older; and 34,792 people, or 22.5 percent of the total population,live below the poverty level. As shown in Table 4-2, Dededo has the highest population ofpeople under 20 years of any village, people over 65 years, and people living below the povertylevel. Hagatna and Tamuning have the lowest percentage of their total populations that are 19years or younger of all the villages on <strong>Guam</strong> (25.2 and 30.5 percent, respectively). Inarajan,Merizo, and Umatac have the highest percentage of their total population that are 19 years oryounger (44.3 percent, 45.6 percent, and 45.8 percent, respectively). Agana Heights andAsan/Maina have the highest percentage of their total population that are 65 years or older (eachat 6.9 percent), and Umatac and Yona have the lowest percentages (2.6 and 3.8 percent,respectively). Umatac and Mongmong-Toto-Maite have the highest proportion of persons livingbelow the poverty level of any village on <strong>Guam</strong> (31.6 and 32.8 percent, respectively). Santa Ritahas the lowest proportion of the people of the village living below the poverty line (8.3 percent).Table 4-2 Populations Potentially Vulnerable to <strong>Hazard</strong>s on <strong>Guam</strong>, 2000PopulationBelow PovertyTotal
