Households
<br /> For cities, the Council forecasts that the 10 communities with the biggest gains in households:between 1990 and 2020 will be Lakeville
<br /> (20,649), Eden Prairie (17,553), Eagan (14,573), Woodbury (14,373), Plymouth (13,639), Maple Grove (12,969), Brooklyn Park (10,614),
<br /> Savage (10,445), Coon Rapids.(10,051) and Andover (9,770). If these cities grow as expected, they would account for 40 percent of the
<br /> region's total expected increase in households in the next 30 years. Six of these cities had the-biggest gains in households during the
<br /> 1980s--Eagan, Eden Prairie, Plymouth,.Coon Rapids, Maple Grove and'Brooklyn Park. Three other big gainers in the '80s-- Burnsville,
<br /> Minnetonka and Bloomington--are expected to experience considerably slower growth in the next 30 years as they become fully
<br /> developed.
<br /> Employment
<br /> Some of the same developing suburbs v4th household growth are expected to make large gains in jobs in the next three decades. But
<br /> the biggest job gainers also include quite a few older, more mature suburbs near or adjacent to Minneapolis and St. Paul. The 10 cities
<br /> with the biggest job gains by the year 2020 are expected to be Eden Prairie.(24,405), Minnetonka (22,464), Plymouth (19,397),
<br /> Bloomington (19,258), Burnsville (17,062), Eagan (15,800), Maplewood (13,546), Maple Grove (15,050), Roseville (11,654) and Coon
<br /> Rapids (9,551). Together, these cities would add 168,187 jobs in the next three decades, or nearly half (47.5 percent) of all the region's
<br /> job growth in the next three decades.
<br /> Population
<br /> The Council forecasts that the ten cities with the biggest population gains will be Lakeville (48,646), Woodbury (36,425), Eden Prairie
<br /> (32,689), Maple Grove (26,764), Savage (25,594), Rosemount (23,678), Eagan (23,591), Andover,(22,784), Plymouth (21,611) and
<br /> Chanhassen (20,268). Five of these cities were not among the top-ten population gainers in the 1980s--Woodbury, Savage, Rosemount,
<br /> Andover and Chanhassen--although they all grew rapidly in the last decade.
<br /> Central Cities
<br /> Minneapolis and St. Paul are expected to hold their own in the next 30 years, growing slightly. Between 1990 and the year 2020,
<br /> Minneapolis is expected to gain 2,818 households, 8,686 jobs and 6,617 people; St. Paul, 5,751 households, 6,496 jobs and 13,265
<br /> people.
