Thermal Electric Generating Facility Areas

Annual April Population Estimate

The Office of Financial Management (OFM) Forecasting Division produces annual population estimates for incorporated places, unincorporated areas, fire protection districts, and library districts within the thermal electric generating facilities impacted area. This boundary is defined as the area lying within thirty-five miles of the most commonly used entrance of the Hanford Nuclear Reservation and is south of the southern boundary of township fifteen north. Population estimates are used for the annual distribution of tax proceeds in accordance with RCW 54.28.055. These taxes are dispersed as part of the Public Utility District (PUD) Privilege Tax.

Estimates may not be directly comparable from year to year due to boundary and/or methodology changes. For questions about historical special area estimates please contact Tom Kimpel at (360) 902-0596.
