Administrative Draft Environmental Impact Report Gill Medical Center Project 4.16 POPULATION AND HOUSING This section addresses potential project effects on population and housing in the project vicinity and the regulatory setting pertaining to that use. 4.16.1 Environmental Setting As of January 1, 2020, the population of Stockton was estimated to be 318,522, a 9.2% increase from its 2010 population as recorded by the U.S. Census Bureau (San Joaquin County. 2016.). Table 4.16-1, below, shows population growth trends in Stockton, San Joaquin County, and California. Table 4.16-1 Population Growth Trends in Stockton,San Joaquin County,and the State of California Jurisdiction 2010 Population 2020 Population Population Growth Stockton 291,707 318,522 9.2% San Joaquin County 685,306 773,632 12.9% State of California 37,253,956 39,782,870 6.8% Source: U.S.Census Bureau,California Department of Finance 2020 Both Stockton and San Joaquin County experienced robust population growth between 2000 and 2010, with a countywide growth rate of 2.0% per year and a citywide growth rate of 1.8% per year.This was substantially higher than the statewide average of 1.0% during the same period.This population growth was primarily due to significant immigration during the early part of the decade. Population growth slowed later in the decade due to economic conditions, leading to a net outflow of population.While immigration occurred again, the average annual growth rate post-2010 was notably lower than in the prior decade: 1.1% per year in San Joaquin County and 0.9% per year in the City of Stockton. Both percentages were slightly higher than the statewide per-year average of 0.7% (San Joaquin County. 2016.). San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG) forecasts that the population of Stockton will grow to 463,450 by 2040 (City of Stockton 2018b). San Joaquin County is also projected to see substantial growth and urbanization.The recently adopted San Joaquin County General Plan update forecasts that total population in the County, both incorporated and unincorporated areas, would be about 945,300 by 2035. This equates to an average annual population growth rate of 1.5%,which is approximately 25% more than the State's projected annual average growth rate of 1.2% between 2012 and 2035 (San Joaquin County 2016a). Housing and Employment As of January 1, 2019, Stockton had an estimated 100,877 housing units. Single-family detached units (typical houses) accounted for approximately 64.4% of total housing units in Stockton,with multifamily units of two or more per building accounting for approximately 26.9°/x. The remaining units were single- family attached units and mobile homes (California Department of Finance 2020). Population and Housing 4.16-1 October 2021
