This article discusses the Population & Steets in Tamwhse City. The population of Tamworth City has a high rate of growth, and is projected to reach 3,140 full-time residents in 2020. That's an increase of about 25% over 2000. The city's school system has over capacity and is in need of additional classroom space. Although it's hard to project the population growth, the state uses past growth rates to predict future trends.
The population density in Tamworth varies depending on the area. For example, the population density in Carroll County is 41.5, while New Hampshire's is 138.8. Tamworth's density is relatively low, however, due to large blocks of land that are not fragmented. The northern portion of Tamworth is part of the 137,000-acre Sandwich Range block and the southern portion of the 35,000-acre Ossipee Mountains block. In addition, measuring density puts a metric on what constitutes a rural area. This is important for two reasons. First, it helps determine how dense a community is, and second, it helps identify the most desirable land use.
Second, Tamworth is home to a diverse mix of commercial activity, residential neighborhoods, and open spaces. This dynamic mix of land uses means that Tamworth's land needs to adapt to the changing needs of its residents. Land use in the city is analyzed from top to bottom, using aerial photographs, tax assessment records, and local knowledge. It is important to note, however, that each of these approaches may produce different expected overlaps, so it's important to do both.
