STANLY COUNTY SECTION 2: GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT TRENDS Introduction Section 2 provides a summary of growth and development trends within Stanly County. The section consists of an analysis of socio-economic and countywide development trends. These analyses were completed to understand growth rates for the county, and to identify trends for use through the remainder of the Land Use Plan development process. Socio-Economic Analysis The first part of Section 2 analyzes socio-economic trends in Stanly County. The section includes analyses of general population, labor force, and educational attainment characteristics. The source for most of the information used to develop this part of Section 2 is the decennial census information provided by the U.S. Census Bureau, and projections developed by the State of North Carolina Office of State Budget and Management. Population Characteristics This portion of Section 2 examines population trends in Stanly County as well as projections into the near future. Although most of the analysis included in this portion of Section 2 is focused on population growth in the recent past, at the outset of this analysis an assessment of historical population statistics is warranted. As indicated in Table 2-1, Stanly County’s population has grown at a very steady rate since 1900. In 1900, Stanly County had a population of 15,220; in 2000, the U.S. Census Bureau reported a population of 58,100, a 281.7 percent increase over the period, or a 2.8 percent annual average. Although the growth rate has moderated in percentage terms in recent decades—Stanly County has grown at an annual average of 1.1 percent since 1950, and 1.0 percent since 1980—the amount of the population increase has accelerated. From 1900 to 2000, the population of the county grew by 428.8 persons annually. Since 1980, annually the population of Stanly County grew by 764 persons. 70,000 60,000 50,000 40,000 30,000 20,000 10,000 0 Table 2-1. Population of Stanly County, North Carolina, 1900-2000. 1900 1910 1920 1930 1940 Over the past 10 years Stanly County has seen almost twice as much growth as in the previous 10-year period. As indicated in Tables 2-2 and 2-3, from 1980 to 1990 Stanly County’s population increased from 48,517 to 51,765, a 6.7 percent increase. From 1990 to 2000 the population increased to 58,100, a 12.2 percent rise. In relation to adjacent counties as well as the state of North Carolina, Stanly County is still growing at a much slower rate. Largely because of the eastward expansion of the Charlotte metropolitan region, adjacent Cabarrus and Union Counties grew respectively at a rate of 32.5 and 46.9 percent. To the east, Anson and Montgomery Counties are growing at a pace more similar to that of Stanly County. For the state of North Caroline the population grew from 1980 to 1990 by 12.8 percent, and from 1990 to 2000 it increased by 21.4 percent.
