The 2010 Census figures were released this week. So what does our city look like now?
Well, in 10 years, we've seen a 66% increase in population.
7,137 is the current population, 2,837 more people than 2000 when we had ~4300.
We are a younger city. 1,226 of our residents are under 19 and only 660 are over 65.
We are a city of renters - 63% of the population live in rented units.
2/3's of the population live on Treasure Island.
We are a majority Hispanic city - 58%
Our racial breakdown is White (Hispanic and non Hispanic) - 82%, African American - 5%, Asian 4%, Note: Other categories include mixed race or biracial. The census categories for race are as complex as our families.
The Elephant in the Room - The vacancy rates
26% of our housing units are vacant, compared to a statewide average of 17% and a countywide average of 12%.
