Bunker Hill Master Plan Revision - Copy.pdf - Bunker Hill Township

Population Projections
Table 2 illustrates future population projections that indicate very modest but stable growth for
the Township. Table 2 indicates that between 2000 and 2035 Bunker Hill Township will
experience a growth rate of 8.4% or one hundred sixty-seven (167) people. By comparison the
growth rate by 2010, the next census year, the Township will have grown by one hundred and
nine (109) persons or 5.5%. This leaves 2.9% of the growth for the last fifteen (15) years of the
projection period through 2035. In viewing the data contained in Table 2, one must remember
that demographers find it easier to predict the future population in the short term rather than the
long term. Therefore, the later years of the projection period are more conservative in terms of
growth. At the decennial census year of 2010, Ingham Township’s population will have
increased by 9.0%, Leslie Township’s by 11.0%, Stockbridge Township’s by approximately
100% and Ingham County’s by approximately 8.0%.
