[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just saw a letter that Jenny Niles sent to Mary Cheh about Ward 3 crowding. There's a lot of good stuff in it, I'll probably post on it in detail later, but it did have population figures from the Office of Planning.

Ward 3, Under-18 Population:
2010 (1)          8,629 
2015 (2)        11,419
2020 (3)        12,727
2025 (3)        14,026

(1) Actual from the 2010 census
(2) Estimate from the US Census
(3) Office of Planning projection

These are the 2017 projections. Note that past projections have under-estimated the growth of the school-age population in Ward 3.

So we're not seeing a blip.[/quote]

Hopefully they are giving you the same data for all wards. Because it's important to look at not just how Ward 3 is growing, but whether it's growing faster or more than the rest of the city.

This Office of Planning presentation from spring 2016 doesn't get into Ward by Ward growth, but suggests that the city's under 18 population is growing overall with Wards 4, 1 and 8's youth population growing the most. https://dme.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/dme/publication/attachments/DME%20Cross%20Sector%20Presentation%20revised%202.16.17.pdf[/quote]
