Met council forecasts Minneapolis Population to hit 514,000 by 2050
I cannot overstate this enough - the study DOES NOT ACCOUNT FOR CLIMATE MIGRATION due to climate change that will make certain regions of the U.S. uninhabitable or less desirable to live (eg wild fires, extreme weather events, extreme heat, more intense hurricanes, access to water, ability to get homeowners insurance, etc.) It is a completely worthless study, IMHO.

r/Minneapolis on Reddit: Met council forecasts Minneapolis Population to hit 514,000 by 2050
February 11, 2025 -
With the County estimates going to 1.55 million (+280,000) and a Metro of 3.8 million (650,000 increase 7.7% from Minneapolis alone and 43% from Hennepin County).
Bloomington and Brooklyn Park could Join Minneapolis and St. Paul under the current state definition of a first class city.
Interestingly forecasts for for the metro population St. Paul increases the metro by only 4% and Ramsey County as a whole will add 7.4%. A 0.3% less then Minneapolis' despite being 3 times the size of Minneapolis.
Lastly Minneapolis would still be short of it's all time high of 521,000 back in 1950.
Just a bit of a fun perspective. Of course forecasts can change (like the weather) and I do feel like this is a little optimistic but just found it interesting to look over and compare
