The City’s historical population growth rate assumed the population grows at the same <br /> rate each year while the TWBD projections showed a decreasing growth rate (from 4.6 percent to 1.3 percent). The average of these projections was also used. There are other projections <br /> available for La Porte including the Texas State Data Center’s projection for Harris County; Houston-Galveston Area Council 2017 Regional Growth Forecast; and the 2012 La Porte Comprehensive <br /> Plan Update’s build-out scenario (December 2012). All of these projections varied too much from the decreasing rate of growth that has been occuring in La Porte, and so for the purposes <br /> of this plan more conservative estimates were used. <br />1990 <br />2000 31,880 <br />1980 <br />1970 <br />1960 <br />1950 <br />Historical Population Growth Rate (6.0 percent from 2000-2010) TWBD 2021 projectionsAverage of the projection methods above <br />1940 <br />1930 <br />1920 <br />50,00045,00040,00035,00030,00025,00020,00015,00010,0005,0000 <br />DEMOGRAPHICS <br />The following is a summary of La Porte’s demographic and socioeconomic data.
