Net Migration RatePitt County had a relatively high net migration rate compared to the other counties withinthe region. Only Greene County with a net migration rate of 18.8% between 1990 and2000 exceeded the Pitt County rate of 15.8% net migration. This high net migration rateindicates that the County has been absorbing a tremendous influx of new citizens over thepast twenty years.Table A-22Comparison of Net Migration Rates – April 2000-July 2009Pitt County and Selected Counties in the RegionBirthsDeathsNatural GrowthNetMigration% NetMigrationPitt 19,651 10,063 9,588 15,146 11.3%Beaufort 5,534 4,991 543 1,892 4.2%Craven 14,790 8,204 6,586 2,239 2.4%Edgecombe 7,083 5,597 1,486 -5,782 -10.4%Greene 2,301 1,664 637 1,774 9.4%Lenoir 7,303 6,435 868 -3,295 -5.5%Martin 2,832 2,957 -125 -1,611 -6.3%Wilson 10,072 7,093 2,979 3,212 4.4%North Carolina 1,139,875 684,002 455,873 878,972 10.9%Source: 2009 Certified County Population Estimates – NC State Data CenterPopulation DensityPitt County also has a comparatively high population per square mile density compared tosurrounding counties.

In addition, the County has a relatively lower percentage of retirement-agepersons (9.8%) especially compared with Beaufort (18.4%) Lenoir (16.0%) and Martin(17.5%) counties.Planning ImplicationThe percent of the population in the college-age category within Pitt County will continueto be significantly different from that of other counties within the region due to the strongimpact of East Carolina University and Pitt Community College. However, the presence ofcollege-age students has had and will continue to have little impact on land use within theCounty’s planning jurisdiction. Age distribution in the unincorporated areas of Pitt Countyshould remain similar to those of surrounding counties.2030 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Appendix A: Inventory and AnalysisPitt County, North Carolina A-39
