Total population in the 90 mile radius area of the Hanford Meteorological Station was estimated to be 446,000 in 1970. By 1980 the area population was expected to be about 468,000, an increase of more than 5 percent over 1970 levels. Between 1980 and the year 2000 another 52,000 persons were expected to be residing within the study area, an increase of nearly 12 percent. The year 2000 total will be in the neighborhood of 520,000. Our high estimate for 2300 indicates a study area population of 774,000 with the low estimate at 593,209, the same as presented for the 2020 decade.
