RALEIGH - GROWTH, GROWTH AND MORE GROWTH
Raleigh, North Carolina. North Carolina Cities Rack Up Big Populatiom Gains. In the stats ad nauseam department here are more for your grist mill. In the Triangle area some love these population gains and some hate them. Win, lose or draw here are the U.S. Census Bureau numbers: (1) - The three-c ounty Raleigh region (Wake, Johnston and Franklin counties) was the nation’s third fastest growing metro area from 2006 to 2007 and that + 4.7% by rate. (2) - By number of people that’s 47,052 bodies which is 12th fastest by number of people. (3) - Th seven county Triangle area, during the same period, grew by 3.9% or 57,480 people. That makes the Triangle the ninth fastest growth metro area. (4) - Charlotte area gained 66,724 people making it the seventh fastest growing metro area in the country. The Charlotte area is comprised of six counties in two states. I knew you would be thrilled.
