In 1983, The Trimble Banner reported that "Trimble County’s population is expected to reach the number 8,054 by the year 2000, according to a forecast by the Population Research Unit of the Urban Studies Center. Sometime between 1985 and 1990 Kentucky’s population will go over the four million mark and by the year 2010 will top five million." Indeed, in 2000, Trimble County's population was 8,125--71 people more than the projection (and, as of the 2010 Census, it was up to 8,809)--but Kentucky's has not grown nearly at the expected pace. It didn't tip past 4 million until the 2000 Census, and it's still estimated at less than 4.4 million.
