Population Estimates
Planning & Development Services staff calculate a monthly population estimate based on a symptomatic approach. The symptomatic approach uses data that bears a close relationship to population change to estimate population growth. In College Station, the monthly quantities of new Certificates of Occupancy and demolitions are multiplied by the occupancy rate of each housing type to calculate the amount of population growth. You can review the most recent estimated population chart below.
Existing Conditions
When beginning a planning effort, City staff start by understanding the planning area through the drafting of an existing conditions report. These reports help staff craft their recommendations for plan actions and supplement the planning effort with facts that can be used for data-informed decision making.
The Comprehensive Plan is the City’s strategic guide, expressing the values and aspirations of our community. Prior to the 2025 Comprehensive Plan Evaluation, staff prepared the 2024 Existing Conditions Report to summarize current conditions and trends in the community.
Additionally, the City has completed two small area planning efforts, which had associated existing conditions reports
