This provides some interesting insights:
More than 1 out of every 10 people in the County lives in the City.
Mont Belvieu's growth rate doubled that of the County and was the highest of anywhere in the County.
If the growth continues like it could, we should see the population double in the next ten years.
The vacancy rates they have for the City seem a little high. Perhaps the numbers were taken when the apartments were just constructed and not full yet. But I just don't see many homes that are vacant...
These are some pretty strong indicators. Remember that this information is current as of last April, and based on our interpolated growth rate of about 7%, the numbers are already out of date. Assuming that rate continued for the past year also, it seems that we are looking at 4100 people. Further, assuming a household size of 2.9 (which is the population divided by the number of occupied housing units) and then assuming that 1/2 of the units that were vacant then (119) are now filled, that adds an additional 180 people or so, which puts us at nearly 4300.
More information will be forthcoming, of course. But this is fun for people like me who like to look at these kinds of things.
