A region of 60,000?: New community profile shows continued population growth in 30-mile radius of Bemidji

BEMIDJI—The most recent U.S. Census studies have shown steady population growth in Bemidji. However, numbers only reflecting people in the city limits don't tell the whole story.

A new community profile compiled for Greater Bemidji projects widespread population growth for Bemidji and within a 15- to 30-mile radius of the city over the next five years

Along with the boost in residents, the study also shows an increase in overall incomes and more housing units for the future. The most recent community profile was compiled by California-based company Esri for Greater Bemidji, the local economic development organization.
