Appendix 10 - Washoe County Population Growth

Washoe County projected population growth through 2040

The Truckee Meadows Regional Planning Agency projects the County's population will grow to more than 587,000 people by 2040. They also project a need for 43,207 new dwelling units between 2022 and 2042 (TMRPA 2019 Regional Plan, Page 48). This would be 15%+ growth from the 218,178 housing units the US Census counted in Washoe County in 2022. If the housing need is met, there will be 261,385 housing units in Washoe County in 2042.
