Comprehensive Plan <br />Part -Year Residents <br />Introductory Element <br />The final segment of the county's seasonal population is the part-time residents of the county. This <br />group has been characterized as the "snowbirds" who flock south for the winter months and return to <br />their primary residences in the north for the remainder of the year. This group maintains a residence <br />in Indian River County, which is occupied for less than 6 months a year. <br />Past studies have indicated that the part -year population during the peak season is generally equal to <br />10% of the resident population. Using that ratio, it is estimated that there were 10,026 part -year <br />residents living in the county during the 1995 peak season. Furthermore, it is projected that there <br />will be 15,840 part -year residents living in the county during the 2020 peak season. <br />Year <br />2010 <br />2015 <br />2020 <br />2025 <br />2030 <br />TABLE 1.21 <br />PART-TIME RESIDENTS <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY <br />Source: Indian River County Planning Division <br />Hotel/Motels <br />Part -Time Residents <br />13,550 <br />15,941 <br />TABLE 1.22 <br />TOTAL PROJECTED SEASONAL POPULATION <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY <br />Recreational Vehicles <br />Family, Fnends, and Relatives <br />Migrant Labor <br />Part -Time Residents <br />TOTAL <br />2010 <br />6,593 <br />13,550 <br />28,863 <br />Source: Indian River County Planning Division <br />Community Development Department <br />Supplement #; Ordinance 2005- <br />25 <br />2015 <br />2020 <br />33,023 <br />2025 <br />15,941 <br />34,086 <br />2030 <br />8,536 <br />35,158 <br />Indian River County <br />
