70% of Market's '90s Growth in Suburbs

MINNEAPOLIS-Although population in the central cities rebounded, developing suburbs account for 70% of growth in the region. Fast-growing suburbs turn increasingly to multifamily projects, the Metropolitan Council says.

MINNEAPOLIS-The fastest growing areas in the Twin Cities are still the developing suburbs, with towns such as Woodbury, Lakeville, Eden Prairie and Eagan accounting for 70% of the region’s growth between 1990 and 2000, according to the latest results from the US Census.

Residential building trends for the last half of the decade show the fastest growing areas are providing townhouses and multifamily units in addition to single-family homes — in fact, more than half the newhousing in Woodbury, Plymouth and Eagan is in this form.

Overall, the Twin Cities metropolitan area added 413,029 people in the last decade, increasing the total metropolitan population to 2,868,847. By 2020, the Twin Cities metro area will include 500,000 more people, 270,000 additional households and 285,000 new jobs, according to census estimates.
