Over the next several months staff will be providing council members with a series of informal reports
in an effort to present a framework and provide context for current and future budget requests. Each
informal report will highlight historical data by department and fund through the presentation and
discussion of historical data, including the change in the department's annual appropriations and
staffing levels. Historic population and service area data will also be provided, along with other trends
that may be relevant to specific departments.
The baseline comparative information provided in the two charts below depicts the change in
population and service area from 2000 to 2015. During the period, the population of Fort Worth has
grown by 246,306 new citizens or about 46 percent. This trend is expected to continue as Fort Worth
continues to be singled out as one of the fastest growing cities both in Texas and the United States.
It is important to point out that as the population grows so does the demand for services, thereby
increasing the costs of providing those services.

By comparison, the City has grown from 308 to 353 square miles, or 15 percent. The spatial area is
important as it impacts the location of City facilities required to meet service demands.
