This article will discuss the population and steets of Mill Valley City. The information provided is based on census data, building permits, and other statistics. It should also be used to analyze how changes in the population and steets may affect future City services and resources. QuickFacts data is derived from the American Community Survey, Census of Population and Housing, Current Population Survey, and Small Area Health Insurance Estimates. The census data is also used to determine the economic and demographic trends of a community.
