Wake County’s huge population growth during the last decade posed a challenge for the law firm in charge of drawing a new districts map. The number of residents in the county flew from 627,846 in the year 2000 to 900,993 in 2010 — an increase of 43.5 percent.

Census Data Reveal Raleigh Growth and Population Shifts

As one of the nation’s fastest-growing cities, it is not surprising that 44 Raleigh census tracts grew by more than 20 percent. Most of the growth has been in the northwest part of the city, with other high-growth tracts in the northeast and southeast. Only two census tracts in the downtown area grew by more than 20 percent.
