- Question 1.
Over the past five to ten years, the white race community has grown tremendously, and currently, they constitute 73.3% of the entire villages that live in the Hillsboro county. According to the latest data by the United States Census Bureaus, the total population of the communities living in this county as of 2018 October was at 1,229, 178. For the last ten years, American Indians have witnessed the slowest growth rate. Currently, the community constitutes 0.5% of the total population of the entire county.
- Question 2.
By 2025, the population of towns located in Hillsboro is expected to increase tremendously. According to US census bureau statistics, the current population growth rate is at 16.9%, and the score has been steady since the year 2010 (U.S. Census Bureau,2019). No massive changes are predicted for the coming years, but there is a high probability that the population increase will be in the same range for the next five to 10 years. This, therefore, calls for the county government to prepare in advance for the population increase in the region. As more people increase in an area, the local government should ensure a secure environment for all and avail the necessary resources for the expansion.
- Question 3.
Based on the US census bureau, the age bracket, 58 and above, was the most common as compared to other people. This population was entirely composed of the whites.
