<br />In 1960, the first census was taken in Mounds View. As seen in Table 2, the population doubled
<br />from 6,413 in 1960 to 12,738 in 2000. For the future, the Metropolitan Council estimates that
<br />Mounds View’s population will only slightly increase to 12,900 in 2010 and 13,000 in 2020. Table
<br />3 shows that the population of Mounds View is aging. The median age of the population has
<br />increased from 20.9 in 1970 to 33.5 in 2000. The senior population (those over the age of 65) has
<br />increased from 6 percent to almost 9 percent of the City population. The employment estimate for
<br />2010 may have already been reached or exceeded with the addition of over 3,000 employees in 2007
<br />in a new corporate office campus.
