Press Release
Date: 4/22/2005
Census Bureau Projects 52% Increase in Population
Idaho will continue to be one of the nation's fastest growing states over the next
quarter century, and a major contributor to that growth will be people over 64.
The Census Bureau on Thursday released its latest projections for population
growth through 2030, predicting Idaho will be the sixth fastest growing state over
that period.
The new projections estimate Idaho's future population growth at 52.2 percent from
2000 to 2030, boosting the state's population from 1.3 million when the 2000 census
was taken to nearly 2 million in 2030.
Only Nevada, Arizona, Florida, Texas and Utah are expected to grow at faster rates.
Going your own way

After the bursting of the Internet bubble, widespread corporate downsizing, and the exporting of
jobs overseas, it is no surprise that many Americans are looking in the same place for job
security: the mirror. Entrepreneurialism is on the rise throughout the nation, as workers shed
their dependence on a steady paycheck in favor of a business of their own.
The surge is being seen in some perhaps unlikely places, such as Idaho. This sparsely populated
western state is waging a campaign to attract the entrepreneurial spirit from both inside and
outside its borders. With a total population of just 1.4 million, Idaho added 18,900 jobs from
2002 to 2004, placing it in the top 10 states for job growth per capita. Small businesses are
fueling that growth, and the state was recently named sixth in the nation for the creation of new
companies per capita by the Center for Economic Development.
"I think Idaho offers a compelling combination of quality of life and business opportunities,"
says Jefferson Jewell, who started a software consulting firm called Blackfin in Boise in 2000.
