Data Sources • Base Population Data: 2010 Decennial Census, Census Bureau • Births and Deaths: Public Health Services of San Joaquin County • Migration Data: IRS Migration Profiles, Missouri Census Data Center, University of Missouri-Columbia

San Joaquin County Population Projection under Migration Scenarios
Long Run Outlook • Relatively young population should support strong natural increase. • Agriculture and proximity to Bay Area should keep SJC attractive to commuters. • Shrinking Working Age population will reduce future fertility rates and reduce tax base. • Aging population will strain social insurance programs and increase health care spending.
