<br />1Southern Slopes CCD was renamed Mattawa-Royal City CCD for the 2010 Census.
<br />Notes: A blank means data is unavailable; na = not applicable; CDP = Census Designated Place (a geographic entity that serves as the
<br />statistical counterpart of an incorporated place for the purpose of presenting census data for an area with a concentration of population,
<br />housing, and commercial structures that is identifiable by name, but is not within an incorporated place); CCD = Census County Division
<br />(county subareas larger than CDPs).
<br />Projected Population
<br />Population projections for the Project study area, like those for the state as a whole, generally predict a
<br />slowing rate of growth in 2010 to 2040, relative to the rates of growth since 1990. The mid -range
<br />projection by OFM (2012) calls for the Project study area to grow by 1.1 percent annually through 2040
<br />(Table 3.9-2), compared to 1.4 percent from 1990 to 2013. Yakima County would grow by a slightly
<br />slower rate and Grant County by a faster rate than the regional average under all three growth scenarios.
<br />Population projections are shown in Table 3.9-2.
