Abstract
The Unified School District 214 (USO 214) contacted the Kansas Center for Community Economic Development (KCCED) at the University of Kansas in January 1997 to discuss the possibility of developing population projections for Grant County. Population projections were requested for the years 2000, 2005, and 2010, by age and sex. These projections will be used to help the USD 214 plan for school expansions.
A comparison of recent population estimates by the U.S. Census to historical Decennial Census data suggests that recent population growth for Grant County is part of an historical pattern of population fluctuation (see Figure I). This population pattern also suggests that future population levels for Grant County may be higher than what was projected by the State of Kansas in 1992. Therefore, KCCED agreed to develop new projections for Grant County based on an established method that would include population trends, migration patterns, births and deaths specific to Grant County. The following report discusses the results of KCCED's efforts, which includes the methodology employed and the projection results.
