California
Population 2015-2030
Riverside County Projections
All the numbers are projections made by the State
Department of Finance. I have no idea
how accurate they will be. The source is
Table P-2 from
http://www.dof.ca.gov/Forecasting/Demographics/projections/
See the two tables at the end of this discussion for
details.
Note that Riverside County will be majority Hispanic
by about 2030.
By age
1. The
population from ages 0-19 will increase slightly. The working-age population (ages 20-64) will
increase by about 20%. The population
ages 65+ will increase by about 75%, with the ages 65+ fraction of the
population increasing from about 13% to 19%.
2. By age and
race
All ages:
The overall population will increase by about
23%. The population of Whites and Asians
will increase. Most of the population increase will be due to the increase in
the Hispanic population (about 350,000 or a 33% increase in the Hispanic population).
Ages 0-19 – children:
The total population in this age range will increase
slightly.
Ages 20-64 – working ages:
The population in this age group will increase by
about 270,000 (20%), mostly driven by an increase of about 230,000 (37%)
increase in the number of working age Hispanics. Obvious substantial challenges and
opportunities are to develop jobs for these workers and to better incorporate
Hispanics into the developing high-tech, high-skills, high-education
economy. Note that Riverside County can
in some ways be regarded as two distinct regions: the suburban areas of Riverside, Corona, and
Moreno Valley (from which it is possible – if unpleasant – to commute to Los
Angeles and Orange Counties), and the more distant Coachella Valley region. The population projections are not broken
down by these regions.
Ages 65+ – seniors:
There will be an enormous (75%!!) increase in the
population of seniors.
