The demographics, illustrated by the tables and graphics above, project a trend for the City of Greenwood over the coming years (up to 2024). These trends and projections will need to be monitored and studied by the City and the Parks Department from a variety of components: • Growth in Population will occur annually. Monitor the impact of these populations regarding their expectations for park and recreation facilities and services. • As the growth in numbers are projected the average age of the Greenwood citizen will be growing older. Monitor what this change in age and their interests will have on the programs and services offered by the Park Department. • Over the coming years it is projected that the per capita income will grow. Monitor how this discretionary income will be used in the Greenwood community and, potentially, for the parks. • The racial-ethnic population will have a different makeup in the coming years. Monitor what influence this has on the programs and services offered by the Park Department.
