Household Forecasts

 

New Forecasts of Households and Household Size for Kentucky, ADDS and Counties

 

As a compliment to recently released population projections, KSDC has released forecasts of the number of households (occupied housing units) and household size (persons per household) for the state, ADDs, and counties. To produce these projections, the reliable cohort-headship method was employed with the KSDC projections of the population in households. Launched from 2010, projections are given at five-year intervals to 2050.

 

The Kentucky State Data Center has released new population forecasts based on the 2010 Census for state of Kentucky, the 15 Area Development Districts, and the 120 counties. Projections are provided for the total population and the population in households by sex and age. Launched from 2010, projections are given at 5-year intervals to 2050. Population pyramids displaying persons in households and group quarters are also provided for the 2000 Census, the 2010 Census, and projections in 2020, 2030, 2040, and 2050.


The household population and the group quarters population age 65 and above were projected using the demographic cohort-component method. County-specific assumptions about future mortality, fertility, and migration were derived from the latest demographic patterns and trends of the 2000-2010 decade. The group quarters population under age 65 was projected to remain constant at their 2010 Census counts. Projections of the group quarters population above age 65 were based on their share of the 2010 Census total population.
