I5 SECTION 3 - DEMOGRAPHIC PROJECTIONS BASED ON PROJECT DATA Demographic projections provide information about the number of new residents and school children anticipated in Orange County resulting from project development. Projections also provide the number of additional employees required per service function and school district as a result of the new development. Total Housing Units: The cumulative total of new housing units added each year by project development. Total Population: The total population added each year by a project derived by multiplying the number of homes to be constructed by the number of persons per household (see Section 1) . School Population: The total number of school children added each year by a project derived by multiplying the number of homes constructed by the number of children per household (see Section 1) . Additional County Employees: The number of additional employees required per service category based on project development. Total: Total of all additional county employees required based on project development. School District Additional Employees: The number of additional employees required per school district based on the project development. SECTION 4 - PROJECTED NET FISCAL IMPACT ON COUNTY Tax Base: The tax base represents the increase in assessed property value expected each year resulting from project development. The values shown are in $1,000's and are derived from a formula which includes the number and sales price of homes, and the assessment ratio. Where applicable, the percentage of non-elderly units and elderly exemption are also used. Revenues: All revenues are derived from a formula which multiplies the per capita revenues (Section 2) times the projected population (Section 3) . The exception to this is the property tax which multiplies the tax base times the county government tax rate. Expenditures: All expenditures are derived from a formula which multiplies the per employee expenditure (Section 2) times the number of additional employees (Section 3) . Net Fiscal Impact: The net balance is the difference between projected expenditures and projected revenues. A negative net balance indicates that it costs Orange County more to provide services to a project than it receives in revenues. A positive net balance indicates that more revenues are received than it costs to serve a project. Positive net balances in one project may thus be used to offset negative balances in another.
