DTI Population and Employment Forecasts 2060 Dataset
The City of Austin’s “DTI 2060 Population and Employment Forecast” is a long-range, small-area population and employment forecast produced by the Demographics and Data Division in the Planning Department in conjunction with representatives from multiple City departments making up the DTI Work Group. DTI stands for Delphi, Trends, and Imagine Austin, and the "DTI 2060 Population and Employment Forecast” is an update to the "Population Projections 2040". The DTI work group produced population and employment forecasts within each polygon in the study area for the year 2025 and the decades from 2030 to 2060, using the year 2020 as the baseline and half of 2010’s migration trends. Potential population and employment growth were forecast within Imagine Austin activity centers and along mixed-use corridors using City staff knowledge of the trends within current development patterns and practices. The DTI 2060 forecast incorporates urban-centric future growth and development and accounts for widely-dispersed, low-density suburban development.
