9. Other Related Control Totals<br />

In addition to developing jurisdictional control totals for total population <strong>and</strong> employment, PB was tasked to create<br />

control totals for other population <strong>and</strong> employment variables. These variables pivot off the control totals for<br />

population <strong>and</strong> employment so any changes in total population <strong>and</strong>/or employment will require adjustments to<br />

these other related control totals.<br />

9.1 Population-Related Control Totals<br />

The other related population control totals for the Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) horizon years (2010,<br />

2020, 2030, <strong>and</strong> 2040) for Caroline County, King George County, Spotsylvania County, Stafford County, <strong>and</strong> the City<br />

Fredericksburg are as follows:<br />

Group Quarters Population<br />

Households Population<br />

Persons per Household<br />

Total Households<br />

Income by Household Size<br />

Below is a brief description of how each variable was developed.<br />

a. Group Quarters Population<br />

Group quarters population for the horizon years were derived by applying total population to group quarters<br />

population ratios from the 2010 census to the horizon year total population. These ratios excluded military group<br />

quarters. Based on discussions with GWRC staff, it is assumed that military group quarters are less influenced by<br />

changes in total population. The military group quarters from 2010 were added back into the total group quarters<br />

after the ratios were applied. The jurisdictions with military group quarters in 2010 include King George County<br />

(188) <strong>and</strong> Stafford County (1,908). Exhibit 1 provides the group quarters population by jurisdiction for each horizon<br />

year.<br />

Spotsylvania County 524 691 868 1,030<br />

Stafford County 3,593 4,126 4,687 5,199<br />

Fredericksburg City 2,596 2,904 3,267 3,593<br />

Total 7,527 8,681 9,932 11,061<br />

b. Household Population<br />

Household population was calculated by subtracting the group quarters population derived above from the total<br />

population control totals previously established by PB <strong>and</strong> presented to FAMPO. Exhibit 2 provides the household<br />

population by jurisdiction for each horizon year.<br />
