<br />EXISTING CONDITIONS
<br />For school concurrency purposes, existing conditions relate not only to the number and
<br />location of public schools, but also to the County's population and overall level of residential
<br />development activity. Because the County's land use and demographic characteristics relate
<br />to the various components of the public school system, this section identifies past and
<br />projected County population figures, recent residential development activity, student
<br />enrollment data, and the existing conditions of Indian River County's public school system.
<br />County and Municipal Related Data
<br />Past and Projected Population
<br />The first set of data used to establish the level of growth in Indian River County is the
<br />population increase over time. For the time period 1995-2006, demographic data were
<br />obtained from the Florida Bureau of Economic and Business Research (BEBR). Table 12.1
<br />details the population estimates for Indian River County and the municipalities during this
<br />ten-year period. Table 12.2 shows population growth projections and annual growth rates for
<br />the County to the year 2020.
