Comprehensive Plan Introductory Element <br />Part -Year Residents <br />The final segment of the county's seasonal population is the part-time resident component of the <br />county. That group has been characterized as "snowbirds" who flock south for the winter months <br />and return to their primary residences in the north for the remainder of the year. As defined, <br />snowbirds consist of people who maintain an Indian River County residence which is occupied for <br />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. Based on that ratio, it is estimated that there were 14,167 part -year <br />residents living in the county during the 2008 peak season. Furthermore, it is projected that there <br />will be 19,690 part -year residents living in the county during the 2030 peak season. <br />Source: Indian River County Planning Division <br />TABLE 1.22 <br />TABLE 1.21 <br />PART-TIME RESIDENTS <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY <br />Year <br />Part -Time Residents <br />2010 <br />14,230 <br />2015 <br />15,500 <br />2020 <br />16,930 <br />2025 <br />18,340 <br />2030 <br />19,690 <br />Source: Indian River County Planning Division <br />TABLE 1.22 <br />TOTAL PROJECTED SEASONAL POPULATION <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY <br />2010 <br />2015 <br />2020 <br />2025 <br />2030 <br />3,614 <br />3,736 <br />3,857 <br />3,979 <br />4,100 <br />Hotel/Motels <br />1,447 <br />1,462 <br />1,477 <br />1,491 <br />1,506 <br />Recreational Vehicles <br />1.543 <br />1,595 <br />1,647 <br />1,699 <br />1,750 <br />Family, Friends, and Relatives <br />Migrant Labor <br />1,339 <br />1,064 <br />968 <br />968 <br />968 <br />14,230 <br />15,500 <br />16,930 <br />18,340 <br />19,690 <br />Part -Time Residents <br />TOTAL <br />22,174 <br />23,356 <br />24,878 <br />26,477 <br />28,015 <br />Source: Indian River County Planning Division <br />Community Development Department <br />Indian River County <br />28 <br />
