In a few weeks, the US Census will release its estimate of NC's population in July 2011. North Carolina has remained among the fastest-growing states in the nation during the economic downturn. The state had an estimated 9,656,401 residents on July 1, 2011, or 1.3 percent more than the decennial census count on April 1, 2010. The nation's population grew 0.9 percent during that time, the slowest growth rate since the mid-1940s.
I think NC and the nation's population growth slowed down even more in the year since the last estimates. I think NC's population grew during the period by an even slower .9% rate to 9,743,308 people. We shall see what the Census says by Christmas.

I would think that NC still grew faster than .9%. I guess that the number is somewhat north of 9.8 million.
a lot of that Mexican immigration was off the books anyway. Factor that and we'd be well over 10 million. In rural and Ag areas look at the Hispanic census numbers versus the Hispanic elementary/middle school numbers (High School has a high dropout rate. You can be undocumented and still go to public school
