Some interesting data released today from the 2010 census shows significant population growth in the Triangle. No surprize to readers of this forum, but it will be interesting how the numbers will be used to redraw voting districts and allocate federal funding. Aparently, we have a more liberal population these days
About 1.6 million people live in the six-county Triangle region, anchored by Wake County, which remains the state's second largest county after Mecklenburg. The Triangle added about 400,000 residents in the decade since the last census, an increase of about 34 percent. Wake County was not only the largest, with 900,993 residents, it also grew faster than any other in the region, 43 percent. The Triangle's growth was paced by Raleigh, which added 127,799 residents, and Cary, which grew by 40,698. But Wake's smaller towns grew at a blistering pace; five of them - Fuquay-Varina, Holly Springs, Morrisville, Rolesville and Wake Forest - more than doubled in population since 2000
Whatever happened to all those city-data posters predicting a mass exodus from the Triangle to states like Michigan in response to the stimulus money and the resurgence of the manufacturing sector?

They already got the state about as gerrymandered as possible but I don't doubt the state will find itself back in the Supreme Court over whatever goofy districts they draw up this time around.
The Triangle MSA is 8 counties, not six and is sittting a hair under 1.75 million, not 1.6 million. It has surpassed the Salt Lake City CSA and is only 10K behind the Austin CSA.
