Population

One factor affecting forestland is population.  Wisconsin population has always increased, but the percent of increase is less in 2000 than in the periods between 1950 and1995.  Wisconsin population is projected to increase by an average of one half of one percent (.052) per year to reach 6,185,000 by 2025.

Current population data and projections help make predictions about future forest product demand, forest use, and community needs.  Population data is standard information that should be used in planning.  The US Census provides most necessary population data.

More specifically, planning participants may want to find out how quickly the population is growing locally, demographics of that population, and where these people will live.
