Address-point growth and population trends noted as input to subdivision planning
Summary
Presenter shared address-point and population trends for Vernon County (he cited 218 new address points in the last year and an approximate 30-year gain of about 5,000 people), and commissioners asked for a breakdown of new address points by incorporated vs. unincorporated areas and for structure-point counts.
Lawrence Johns showed county address and population maps and said recent address-point growth is concentrated in incorporated areas but that unincorporated portions of the county have new address activity as well.
Johns said the county has 218 new address points in the last 12 months and called the figure "address points," noting that not every new address represents a new residence (it can include businesses, campsites or phone booths). He cautioned that the population figures he displayed were estimates and that some slide labels were approximations.
Commissioners asked for supplemental data broken down by incorporated versus unincorporated areas and for counts of new structures. Johns said the land-information office maintains address and structure-point data and agreed to circulate a more detailed dataset and a heat map that showed concentrations inside the cities and villages.
