<br />POPULA TION AND HOUSEHOLDS
<br />
<br />The number of households in the City
<br />grew from 46,586 in 1970 to an estimated
<br />87,700 in 1980, an increase of 88%
<br />compared to a population increase of
<br />71 %.6 Between 1970 and 1980, the
<br />general trend has been a decline in the
<br />number of persons per household. In 1970,
<br />there was an average of 3.17 persons per
<br />household which has decreased to 2.91
<br />persons per household in 1980. This is
<br />opproximotely a 7% decrease in persons.
<br />
<br />Currently there are more single-person
<br />households and households consisting of
<br />unrelated persons than in the past.
<br />
<br />Population in the form of households has a
<br />direct impact on the housing market; one
<br />household will occupy one housing unit.
<br />A Iso, the type of household and the
<br />number of persons making up that
<br />household determines the type of housing
<br />that will be necessary to meet housing
<br />demands. As can be seen in Table 7,
