Where Are We Growing—and What Comes Next? COMPASS’ Population Estimates Deep Dive
In this episode of In Motion, we are joined by COMPASS Principal Planner Austin Miller for a deep dive into COMPASS’ 2026 population estimates. Austin explains what population estimates are, how they differ from Census data and population forecasts, and what the latest numbers reveal about growth across the Treasure Valley.We’ll explore where growth is happening, how Ada and Canyon counties compare, what’s driving the region’s continued population increase, and what these trends could mean for transportation, housing, and communities across the region. Austin also looks ahead at what current growth patterns could mean for the next 5, 10, and even 20–30 years, and how COMPASS uses population estimates to help shape the long-range plan, Communities in Motion.
