About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the Portland population over the last 20 plus years. It lists the population for each year, along with the year on year change in population, as well as the change in percentage terms for each year. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population change of Portland across the last two decades. For example, using this dataset, we can identify if the population is declining or increasing. If there is a change, when the population peaked, or if it is still growing and has not reached its peak. We can also compare the trend with the overall trend of United States population over the same period of time.

Key observations

In 2023, the population of Portland was 69,104, a 1.09% increase year-by-year from 2022. Previously, in 2022, Portland population was 68,361, a decline of 0.13% compared to a population of 68,450 in 2021. Over the last 20 plus years, between 2000 and 2023, population of Portland increased by 4,893. In this period, the peak population was 69,104 in the year 2023. The numbers suggest that the population has not reached its peak yet and is showing a trend of further growth. Source: U.S. Census Bureau Population Estimates Program (PEP).

As included in this EnviroAtlas dataset, the community domestic water use was calculated using local domestic water use per capita in gallons of water per day (GPD), distributed dasymetrically, and summarized by census block group. Domestic water use, as defined in this case, is intended to represent residential indoor and outdoor water use (e.g., cooking, hygiene, landscaping, pools, etc) for primary residences (i.e., excluding second homes and tourism rentals). For the purposes of this metric, these provider-supplied estimates are also considered representative of local self-supplied water use. Specific to Portland, ME, the Portland Water District (PWD) is the main provider for the study area. Within the study area, PWD supports Portland, South Portland, Westbrook, Scarborough, and Cape Elizabeth. PWD estimates current residential water use to be ~52 GPD. The southern portion of the study area is supported by the Biddeford and Saco Water Company (BSWC). Within the study area, their service area includes Biddeford, Saco, Old Orchard Beach, and Pine Point. BSWC estimates current residential water usage to be ~50 GPD.
