Section 10-A2006. PROJECTIONS

 

2006.1Based on approved development projects, local planning policies, and regional growth trends, Mid-City is projected to add 6,400 households during the next 20 years. Population is expected to increase by 16 percent, reaching about 96,500 in 2025. Much of the growth in the Mid-City area is expected to consist of moderate to medium-density housing, particularly along 14th Street and Georgia Avenue, on land west of Howard University, and around the Metro stations at Shaw and Columbia Heights. Growth is also expected on the far eastern edge of the Planning Area, along Florida Avenue and North Capitol Streets. 2006.1

 

2006.2The number of jobs is expected to increase by about 5,000, to about 33,000 in 2025. Most of the increase is associated with development around the Columbia Heights Metro station, the Howard Town Center on Georgia Avenue, and the New York Avenue Metro station on the area’s southeastern edge. 2006.2
