TABLE II - POPULATION PROJECTION Although the projections for Washington County and the total Metropolitan Area have been reduced significantly since the Planning District II estimates were prepared in 1968, the Villagr projections seem to be quite accurate, if not even on the conservative side. (1985 Planning District II estimate was 5,500.) These estimates can be partially substantiated by analyzing the age composition of the Village. The 1970 Census indicates that Hugo is comprised of a very young population. (Approximately 47% of the population is younger than 18 years of age.) The elderly, 65 years and over, constitute but 5% of the total population, which is another indication of the future produc- tivity potential of the population. D. HOUSING CHARACTERISTICS A great deal can be said about a community by just analyzing its housing, since residential is the largest single land use. Information pertaining to housing type, value, condition and the presence of mobile homes can assist tremendously in pinpdirting the residential personality of a community. The Hugo land use survey indicates the following housing composition as of September, 1972: Type of Housing Quantity Percentage Single Family Residential 568 70.3% Single Family Farm Residential 111 13.6% Multiple Family 18 02.2% Mobile Home 111 13.6% Vacant Farm Residential 3 00.3% Total 811 100.0% 9 1970 1980 1990 2000 2010 Hugo 2,669 4,700 8,600 17,300 28,700 Washington County 82,948 118,800 185,800 267,500 378,000 Twin Cities Metro Area 1,874,380 2,230,100 2,687,000 3,176,300 3,705,700 Although the projections for Washington County and the total Metropolitan Area have been reduced significantly since the Planning District II estimates were prepared in 1968, the Villagr projections seem to be quite accurate, if not even on the conservative side.
