| We can also examine
population at the household level. |
|
| Mean household size has
decreased by over 1 person per household in the past 30 years. |
|
| In 1970 the mean number
of people per household was 3.43 whereas in 2007 this number was 2.35. This explains why with only an
increase of 5% of people in the past 30 years number of residential units
has increased by 56%. |
|
| If the current trend
continues, there will be more demand for residential housing. |
