<br />(02/26/2019) 16 | Page <br />Population and Housing Growth <br />From 1999 to 2018, Everett’s population increased 28% and 24% more housing units were added. <br />Despite the housing spike in 2016, there is a clear decline in the number of housing units added starting <br />in 2010. From 1999 to 2010, the city was adding 650 units each year; from 2011 to 2018, the city has <br />been adding 231 units per year, even with the increase of 747 units added in 2016 factored in. <br /> <br /> <br />Source: Office of Financial Management postcensal estimates of April 1 population and housing. <br /> <br />Growth Forecasts <br />Everett’s allocation of urban growth from Snohomish County and the Puget Sound Regional Council <br />would increase the city’s population to 165,000 by 2035. This growth allocation is not consistent with <br />actual growth trends in the city, as can be seen in the chart below. A more realistic projection would be <br />approximately 140,000 people in 2035, an increase of around 30,000 people from 2018 and around 12- <br />13,000 new housing units. <br /> <br /> <br />0 <br />200 <br />400 <br />600 <br />800 <br />1,000 <br />1,200 <br />1,400 <br />1,600 <br />1,800 <br />2,000 <br />0 <br />500 <br />1,000 <br />1,500 <br />2,000 <br />2,500 <br />3,000 <br />3,500 <br />4,000 <br />4,500 <br />5,000 <br />Housing Units AddedPopulation AddedHousing Units added Population added <br />100,000 <br />110,000 <br />120,000 <br />130,000 <br />140,000 <br />150,000 <br />160,000 <br />170,000 <br />Allocation Trendline
