The Metropolitan Council estimated that as of April 1, 2014, Blaine's population was 62,066 with an estimated 22,647 households. This figure indicates that Blaine's population grew by 48 people from last year's estimate. With the amount of new home construction in 2013 and 2014 it would seem Blaine was growing faster but in actuality the population has to do with estimated household size.

In 2013 the estimated household size was 2.77 persons per household; this year the estimate was 2.73, or 4/100 per household lower. While this may not seem like much when applied over the 22,647 households this results in 906 fewer people than last year. The amount of new housing added just over that loss therefore Blaine posed a positive gain in population.

For comparison the table shows the annual Metropolitan Council estimate data since 2003, which shows the household average has fluctuated from a low of 2.71 in 2010 to 2.81 in 2008. Visit the Metro Council's website for more information.
