<br />These numbers indicate that the pace of growth in the state, region, and county slowed in the 1985-
<br />2005 period compared to the 1970-1985 period. While outpacing the state growth rate through
<br />1995, approximately equaling the state growth rate between 1995 and 2000, and again outpacing the
<br />state growth rate between 2000 and 2005, Indian River County has grown at a faster pace than the
<br />state and has remained near the growth rate of the more urban areas of the Treasure Coast.
<br />Subgeographic Estimates and Projections
<br />Appendix B" contains a Traffic Analysis Zone (TAZ) map of the County with tables listing year 2000
<br />population and employment estimates and the latest population and employment projections for 2015
<br />and 2030 by Traffic Analysis Zone. These data are not comparable to 1995 County Traffic Analysis
<br />Zone data, because the number of TAZ's, as well as the individual TAZ boundaries, have changed
<br />substantially since 1995 as a consequence of the County engaging in regional travel demand
<br />forecasting modeling efforts. Further, 2030 TAZ data do not use BEBR as their source for population
<br />data; therefore, 2030 TAZ data are not directly comparable to the BEBR population data for the County,
<br />State and Treasure Coast as reported within this element. For 2030 TAZ data, the County chose to use
