The greatest rate of growth is expected in Sherburne County at 172.3 percentfollowed by Wright County with 168.8 percent. Projected growth in the analysis areacounties as a whole represents a somewhat slower rate of growth than the 32.5 percentexperienced in the 25 years from 1980 to 2005. Minnesota’s growth during the sameperiod was 27.7 percent compared to projected growth of 31. percent over the next 25years (Minnesota State Demographic Center 2007).Headwaters ROPE Study 37

Projected Age Distribution for Analysis Population, 2000 – 2035.Recreational uses of central Minnesota are changing from a region of family resorts andvacation cottages into an area popular for retirement homes, large-scale resorts, andyear-round residences. This trend is expected to continue. The proportion of theanalysis area population from ages 0 to 44 is projected to decrease over the 25 yearperiod from 2005 to 2030. The percentage of persons age 44 to 64 is also expected togradually decrease during the same time frame. However, the greatest change isexpected to occur in percentage of the population age 65 and over. This segment of thepopulation is projected to increase from 11.4 percent in 2005 to 20.2 percent in 2030.The proportion of the population over the age of 65 is projected to begin to decreaseafter 2030. Projected changes in the age distribution of the analysis population aredisplayed in Figure 4.2.3.a (Minnesota State Demographic Center 2007).Headwaters ROPE Study 38
