Demographics


  • Quarterly Growth Profiles

  • Residential Growth 2000-2009 (pdf/447kb/1p/07-13-09)

  • Demographics Package (pdf/4.5MB/15 pp)

  • American FactFinder (US Census Bureau)

  • Population History (pdf/2.2MB/25pp)

  • Population Projections to 2020 Buildout (pdf/884kb/1p/07-13-09)
    Our build out numbers are projected to be about 271,000 residents, 144,000 dwelling units and 231,000 jobs. These numbers derive under the assumption that Scottsdale will acquire and preserve all of the open space acreage that our voters have approved. If so, we should reach a built out condition sometime between 2018 and 2020. The spread would result from rather simple economic dynamics; i.e., as the supply (available developable land) decreases, the price increases and demand decreases. If Scottsdale were not to purchase any further acreage for our McDowell Mountain / Desert Open Space Preserve, we could be looking at a build out resident population between 295,000 to 310,000 people sometime between 2025 and 2030.
