Figure 40. Projected population growth by ju- risdiction
Population Growth in Hillsborough County Through 2045 As of 2023, Hillsborough County has 1,528,924 resi- dents. By 2045, the population is projected to reach 2,004,100. The 2019 University of Florida Bureau of Economic and Business Research (BEBR) medium - level projec- tion forecasts that Hillsborough County will grow by over 500,000 people by 2045. Most of that population growth is expected to occur in unincorporated Hills- borough County ( Figure 40 ), where there is the most available land for new development. Figure 41 shows the amount of growth forecast to occur throughout the county between 2025 and 2045. Anticipated growth areas are located north of Plant City, east of Temple Terrace, on the border with Pinel- las County, and in the south part of the county along the major highways (US 41, I - 75, and US 301). The growth forecasts are updated every five years. The next is anticipated in 2023.
