All but one county in metro Charlotte contributed to the region's population growth over the past year, according to newly released U.S. Census Bureau data.
Overall, the Charlotte-Concord-Gastonia metropolitan statistical area grew by 44,350 residents in the year between July 1, 2017 and the same date in 2018, show the latest bureau's population estimates, which were released on Thursday. That equates to an average of about 853 new people a week and nearly 122 each day.
When looking strictly at the number of new residents, rather than growth percentage, Mecklenburg County — unsurprisingly — had the largest slice, with 16,590 new inhabitants over the 12-month period. Up 1.5%, Mecklenburg County's population totaled 1,093,901 in July 2018, according to the census estimates.
The Charlotte metro as a whole added an estimated 352,216 residents between 2010 and 2018, growing 15.9%, to reach 2,569,213. Meanwhile, metro Raleigh grew 20.5%, with 232,052 new residents, to arrive at an estimated population of 1,362,540.
I'm sure that huge reports like NC Moves 2050 take a while to write and are based on more of a general trend witnesses over more than a single year.
On average they say the Sunbelt growth is slowing, Wake County's school system went from increases by the thousands each year to just a trickle.
I wonder why Anson is losing population being so close to Charlotte.
My county, Franklin, is the slow-grower in the Triangle region, it's still very rural and worlds apart in sophistication but we do have one Starbucks, albeit it's within the college's library, lol.
The term "Charlotte USA" refers to the 16-county region, which includes 12 counties in North Carolina and 4 counties in South Carolina. The term is championed by the Charlotte Regional Partnership, a non-profit organization made up of both private- and public-sector members from throughout the Charlotte region. This organization represents one of seven officially designated economic development regions in North Carolina.[7]
The Charlotte Regional Partnership also identifies four additional counties to the what they refer to as the 'Charlotte Region'-Alexander, Anson and Catawba counties in North Carolina, and Chesterfield County, South Carolina. Catawba and Alexander counties are currently part of the Hickory–Lenoir–Morganton Metropolitan Statistical Area or 'The Unifour', and Anson County was once part of the MSA and CSA, until it was removed in 2011.
York County, Gaston County, Iredell County and Cabarrus county all want to get light rail to their counties. It may happen years from
now for all these counties.
In a major move that will shape the future of economic development and job growth in Charlotte, the Charlotte Chamber and Charlotte Regional Partnership have merged to promote the counties in Charlotte region.
