Abundant Housing

The Coachella Valley welcomed 12,682 new residents in 2007, bringing the population to 443,612 — a 92 percent increase over the 1990 census. In addition to the permanent population, the valley has a substantial seasonal population, which is at roughly 146,000 at the beginning of 2007.

The Valley is proactively building for a bright future full of opportunities. Major community improvement projects addressing everything from traffic circulation to water supply are underway to position the valley for the population increase it expects over the next five to ten years.
