All projections based on 2000 city boundaries.
*NCTCOG estimate adjusted from 2000 Census count. Does not include group quarters.
Projections for all years were finalized in April 2003. While NCTCOG makes a meaningful effort to accurately estimate city-level population and employment projections, there may be instances where the current city population estimate has already surpassed a projection. This could be due to one or more factors.
Projections are based on 2000 city boundaries and will not account for future growth due to annexations or other expansion.
Unanticipated growth has occurred since the projections were completed.
The 2030 Demographic Forecast projections were not originally created at the city level. A demographic model was run using Traffic Survey Zones, which are aggregations of Census block groups. In some cases, traffic survey zones do not cede to city boundaries, therefore it was necessary for NCTCOG staff to proportionally split TSZ population and employment forecasts based on 2000 city boundaries. Because of this, the proportions may not accurately reflect growth in the city.
Changes in local government policy (i.e greater focus on dense development) and unanticipated infill development have occurred.
New projections are published every five years to address these and other demographic changes. The 2040 Demographic Forecast is currently being created which will make new projections available. To view current city population estimates, click here.
