While I also think growth in NC may slow down some this decade, my prediction is that birth rates will likely increase on a national level over the next 15 years, so you might see a pretty notable increase within the next 7-10 years.
By raw number or by percent?
The large NC gets, the lower it’s percent growth will be. Like when Raleigh has been along the fastest growing, Atlanta was still adding a lot more people than Raleigh.

It's hard to say what will happen with birth rates over the next decades. Affordability, Safety, Employment Security, and a number of other factors will all play a role in how many, if any, children people choose to have. Economically and socially, it's not feasible these days to have large families.
My inclination is to say that the birth rate continues to decline.
RALEIGH – At least two major semiconductor manufacturers are considering a site south of the Triangle in Chatham County for the construction of a mammoth semiconductor manufacturing plant, an industry source tells WRAL TechWire. And a corporate real estate executive confirms that there is “lots of interest” in the location from multiple companies.
Very interesting. If multiple players are vying for the site, it’s almost certain that one of them will land there. From what I’ve read this operation will be much larger than anything NC has seen on a manufacturing scale.
It's really easy to imagine this decade being enormous for Raleigh, Wake Co., and the entire Triangle. The number of downtown Raleigh projects alone in the pipeline could render the capital city unrecognizable by 2030.

Even by 2025 the skyline will look dramatically different.
There seems to be a race to build more and higher in the core of the city. The land grabs are unprecedented.
I do believe that some large corporations have their eyes on relocating their HQ and are scoping out Class A office space.
