About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the Minneapolis 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 Minneapolis 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 Minneapolis was 425,115, a 0.74% increase year-by-year from 2022. Previously, in 2022, Minneapolis population was 422,003, a decline of 1.36% compared to a population of 427,806 in 2021. Over the last 20 plus years, between 2000 and 2023, population of Minneapolis increased by 42,427. In this period, the peak population was 430,710 in the year 2020. The numbers suggest that the population has already reached its peak and is showing a trend of decline. Source: U.S. Census Bureau Population Estimates Program (PEP).

In 2022, the Minneapolis–Saint Paul metro area real gross domestic product (GDP) amounted to ***** billion U.S. dollars. This is a large increase from the real GDP value in 2001 which came to ****** billion U.S. dollars.

Minneapolis–Saint Paul is the most populous urban area in the state of Minnesota, United States, and is composed of *** cities and townships. Built around the Mississippi, Minnesota and St. Croix rivers, the area is also nicknamed the Twin Cities for its *** largest cities, Minneapolis and Saint Paul, the former the larger and the latter the state capital. It is a classic example of twin cities in geography.

The area is part of a larger U.S. Census division named Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI, the country's ****-largest metropolitan area composed of ** counties in Minnesota and *** counties in Wisconsin. This larger area in turn is enveloped in the U.S. Census combined statistical area called Minneapolis-St. Paul-St. Cloud, MN-WI with an estimated population of **** million people in 2022, ranked the **** most populous in the U.S.

This dataset consists of housing unit, household, and population estimates for census tracts, census block groups, Transportation Analysis Zones (TAZs), school districts, and ZIP codes in the Twin Cities Region. These data provide a more precise and timely picture of current conditions than the American Community Survey, another source of small area data that is better suited for statistics like percentages and averages than for actual counts. It may be possible to calculate estimates for other small areas upon request; contact Research@metc.state.mn.us for more information.

In 2023, the metropolitan area of New York-Newark-Jersey City had the biggest population in the United States. Based on annual estimates from the census, the metropolitan area had around 19.5 million inhabitants, which was a slight decrease from the previous year. The Los Angeles and Chicago metro areas rounded out the top three. What is a metropolitan statistical area? In general, a metropolitan statistical area (MSA) is a core urbanized area with a population of at least 50,000 inhabitants – the smallest MSA is Carson City, with an estimated population of nearly 56,000. The urban area is made bigger by adjacent communities that are socially and economically linked to the center. MSAs are particularly helpful in tracking demographic change over time in large communities and allow officials to see where the largest pockets of inhabitants are in the country. How many MSAs are in the United States? There were 421 metropolitan statistical areas across the U.S. as of July 2021. The largest city in each MSA is designated the principal city and will be the first name in the title. An additional two cities can be added to the title, and these will be listed in population order based on the most recent census. So, in the example of New York-Newark-Jersey City, New York has the highest population, while Jersey City has the lowest. The U.S. Census Bureau conducts an official population count every ten years, and the new count is expected to be announced by the end of 2030.

Geospatial Analysis of Population Demographics and Traffic Density in MinneapolisIntroductionThis interactive web map provides a geospatial analysis of population distribution and traffic density for the city of Minneapolis, Minnesota. By integrating demographic data at the census tract level with real-time traffic information, the application serves as a critical tool for urban planning, transportation management, and sociological research.Data Visualization and SymbologyThe map employs distinct color schemes to represent the core datasets, allowing for intuitive visual analysis: Traffic Density: The city's road network is symbolized using a color gradient to indicate traffic volume. Segments rendered in deep red represent a high traffic density index, signifying areas of significant vehicular congestion. This transitions to a light yellow for segments experiencing lower traffic flow. Population Density: The demographic landscape is visualized using a green color ramp applied to census tract polygons. Dark green shades correspond to areas with a high population concentration, whereas lighter green shades denote regions with a lower population density. Analytical Utility and ApplicationsThe juxtaposition of these datasets reveals spatial correlations between residential density and transportation bottlenecks. This allows for data-driven inquiry into key urban challenges. The patterns visualized can help city planners and transportation authorities identify specific corridors where infrastructure investment could be most effective. Strategic improvements in these areas have the potential to optimize traffic flow, reduce commuter travel times, and decrease vehicle fuel consumption and emissions, thereby enhancing the overall sustainability and livability of Minneapolis.Interactive Features and Data ExplorationUsers are encouraged to engage with the map's interactive features for a deeper understanding of the data: Layers and Legend: Utilize the "Layers" and "Legend" tools to deconstruct the map's composition and understand the specific values associated with the color symbology. Pop-up Information: Click on individual census tracts or road segments to activate pop-up windows. These provide detailed attribute information, such as total population counts, demographic breakdowns, household income statistics, and spatial relationship metrics like nearest neighbor analysis. This application is built upon a foundational demographic data layer for Minneapolis and is enhanced by the integration of a dynamic traffic layer from the ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World.

The Census Bureau identifies and tabulates data for the urban and rural populations and their associated areas solely for the presentation and comparison of census statistical data. For Census 2020, the Census Bureau classifies as urban all territory, population, and housing units located within an urban area (UA) or an urban cluster (UC). It delineates UA and UC boundaries to encompass densely settled territory, which consists of:

At the regional level, transit market areas approximate the level of transit service an area can support. The concept was initially developed in 1996 Transit Redesign to provide general guidelines on the mix of transit services that may be appropriate for a given area. This guidance is provided for broad regional context; appropriate transit services are defined through professional transit service planning processes.

The existing market area definitions identify five market areas, with Area I supporting the most intensive transit service and area 5 supporting the least intensive transit service. Transit Market Areas were first introduced in the 1996 Transit Redesign report produced by the Metropolitan Council. They have been updated periodically since then to better reflect census geography and demographic shifts and to refine the appropriate measures of transit supportiveness.

The current Transit Market Areas, developed for the 2040 TPP update, are based on an index of population density, employment density, automobile availability (population over 16 less available automobiles), and intersection density (an indicator of urban form measured as a weighted count of intersections by block group).
