significant number of households, 1,315 households or 20.1 percent. All of the other
<br />study area communities added households during the 1980's, but in smaller numbers.
<br />Overall, the study area gained 6,678 households, or 16.1 percent, during the 1980's and
<br />is expected to add another 4,517 households or 9.4 percent, during the 1990's.
<br />Household estimates as of 1993 show a total study area household base of 49,511, an
<br />increase of approximately 443 households annually over the three -year period.
<br />From 2000 to 2010, Little Canada is forecast to add another 350 households, or 8.2
<br />percent. This compares to projected growth of 1,200 households (8.4 percent) for
<br />Roseville, 900 households for the northern portion of Maplewood, and 700 households
<br />(13.2 percent) for Vadnais Heights. Overall, the study area is projected to add 3,650
<br />households or 6.9 percent during this same period. During the 1980's, study area
<br />households grew at a faster rate than did Ramsey County households and this trend is
<br />expected to continue during the 1990's and into the 2000's.
<br />During the 1980's, the number of jobs in the study area grew by 19,370 or 38.4
<br />percent, from 50,395 jobs to 69,765 jobs. Both Vadnais Heights and Little Canada
<br />showed high proportional employment growth during the 1980's, however the
<br />northern portion of Maplewood added the most jobs during the period, 7,968 jobs
<br />compared to 3,046 jobs added in Roseville, 2,970 jobs added in Vadnais Heights and
<br />2,487 jobs added in Little Canada. As of 1993, study area employment was estimated
<br />at 62,888 jobs. From 1990 to 2000, study area employment is projected to grow by
<br />14,935 jobs or 21.4 percent. During the 1990's, Roseville is projected to add 6,454
<br />jobs or 18.4 percent. The northern portion of Maplewood is also projected to add a
<br />reladvely high number of jobs, 2,726 jobs. Little Canada is projected to add 1,063
<br />jobs, or 24.8 percent. Most of the increase in jobs in the northern portion of Maple-
<br />wood is likely a result of the expanding retail base near Maplewood Mall.
<br />During the 2000's, Roseville and the northern portion of Maplewood are projected to
<br />add 2,500 jobs and 2,200 jobs, respectively. Little Canada is projected to add 650 jobs
<br />or 12.1 percent. The study area as a whole is projected to add 7,900 jobs or 9.3 percent
<br />during this same period. Historically, Roseville has had a strong employment base and
<br />is expected to continue to add jobs through the remainder of this century and into the
<br />beginning of the next century. Study area employment growth during the 1980's
<br />exceeded employment growth in Ramsey County. Ramsey County, however, is
<br />expected to add more jobs during the 1990's and during the 2000's than is the study
<br />area. The study area's employment growth rates, however, are projected to be higher
<br />than those for Ramsey County and for the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. It should
<br />be noted that strong employment growth in this area will enhance Little Canada's ability
<br />to attract new households because of its close proximity to major employment centers
<br />and its convenient location.
