A population projection was done as part of the planning process. Through 2020 in
unincorporated Jefferson Parish, the population is projected to grow by approximately
thirty thousand (30,000) with most of this growth occurring on the West Bank. The
2000 Census shows a continued aging of the parish population and growth in minority
populations.
To accommodate the increase in population a projection of fifteen thousand fifty-eight
(15,058) new single-family houses, eight hundred sixty-eight (868) two-to-four family
residences and two thousand four hundred twenty-nine (2,429) multi-family units are
required. While historically the East Bank has been the desired location of residential
development, most of this new housing will be developed on the West Bank where the
land necessary is available. Chapter 3 Population, Housing and Employment discusses these issues in detail.
