Nearly all of the region’s population growth is occurring in the second- and third-ring suburbs. Roughly 90
percent of the expansion occurred in developing suburbs which provide the planning, services and
amenities that both accommodate and encourage growth. Led by Shakopee’s addition of 16,508 people
over the decade, five cities each added more than 10,000 people – Shakopee, Woodbury, Lakeville,
Blaine, and Maple Grove. Together, these cities added 68,206 people or nearly one-third of the decade’s
net growth. In Minneapolis and St. Paul, new multifamily and attached housing developments have added
thousands of new housing units. At the same time, the central cities’ housing gains have been offset by
foreclosures, family displacements, and a demographic shift toward empty-nest and non-family
households, with fewer people per housing unit. Between 2000 and 2010, Minneapolis gained 1,188
households but lost 169 residents. St. Paul lost 1,108 households and 1,772 residents over the decade.

The six fastest-growing cities in the metropolitan area over the decade are Elko New Market, Mayer,
Rockford, Carver, Rogers, and Hugo – all of which more than doubled their population. Among cities with
at least 10,000 residents in 2000, the fastest growing are Shakopee, Farmington, Rosemount, Prior Lake,
Chaska, and Woodbury. Communities seeing population losses include the center cities, older suburbs
such as Anoka, Spring Lake Park and Vadnais Heights, and rural townships.
