Built around the Mississippi, Minnesota and St. Croix rivers, the area is also nicknamed The <br />Twin Cities for its two largest cities, Minneapolis and Saint Paul. Saint Paul is the second largest city in <br />Minnesota, as well as the state capital. <br /> <br />The area is part of a larger U.S. Census division named Minneapolis -St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI, the <br />country’s 16th-largest metropolitan area, composed of eleven counties in Minnesota and two counties in <br />Wisconsin. This larger area, in turn, is enveloped in the U.S. Census combined statistical area called <br />Minneapolis-St. Paul-St. Cloud, MN-WI with an estimated population of 3.5 million people in 2006, ranked <br />the 13th most populous in the U.S. <br /> <br />In both of the fully developed central cities–Minneapolis and St. Paul–the population has declined due to <br />smaller household sizes, yet growth in other areas of their counties has been more than offsetting. Below <br />is detailed where this growth has occurred: <br /> <br /> <br />POPULATION <br />County Census <br />2000 <br />Census <br />2010 <br />Forecast <br />2015 <br />Growth <br />2000 - 2010 <br />Growth <br />2010 - 2015 Source: US Census Bureau total annual total annual <br />Hennepin 1,116,200 1,152,425 1,165,830 3.25% 0.32% 1.16% 0.12% <br />Ramsey 511,035 508,640 491,820 -0.47% -0.05% -3.31% -0.33% <br />Dakota 355,904 398,552 437,520 11.98% 1.20% 9.78% 0.98% <br />Anoka 298,084 330,844 374,350 10.99% 1.10% 13.15% 1.32% <br />Washington 201,130 238,136 257,760 18.4% 1.84% 8.24% 0.82% <br />Scott 89,498 129,928 186,820 45.17% 4.52% 43.79% 4.38% <br />Wright 89,986 124,700 159,640 38.58% 3.86% 28.02% 2.80% <br />Carver 70,205 91,042 114,870 29.68% 2.97% 26.17% 2.62% <br />Sherburne 64,417 88,499 119,040 37.38% 3.74% 34.51% 3.45% <br />Chisago 41,101 53,887 67,880 31.11% 3.11% 25.97% 2.60% <br />Total 2,837,560 3,116,653 3,375,530 9.84% 0.98% 8.31% 0.83% <br /> <br />Overall, the area has experienced moderate to good income growth.
