Orange County’s population in the birth through 9-year-old age groups will increase at a steady pace over the next 42 years, but that population group will explode in Riverside County, according to new data from the state’s Department of Finance, Demographic Research Unit.
As Orange County’s population increases from more than 3.2 million in 2010 to a projected nearly 4 million in 2050, the 0-9 age group will more than double, from about 242,000 children to 533,000.
However, Riverside County reflects an even younger demographic; its population will increase from 2.23 million in 2010 to a projected 4.7 million in 2050. Its 0-9 age group will go from about 344,000 to about 700,000. In San Bernardino County, the population will increase from 2.2 million to a projected 3.7 million, with the 0-9 age group growing from about 336,000 to more than 500,000, with most of its overall growth coming from those at or near the retirement years.
