 This section includes changes made during the 2013 update.
Requirement §201.4(d): Plan must be reviewed and revised to reflect changes in development… SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATIONAs described in Appendix A-5, information in the supplemental section of the risk assessment is based on information from the US Census. Data utilized in this assessment is from the US Census Bureau and North Carolina State Office of Budget and Management and was gathered in mid-2012. The hazard vulnerability results included in the preceding sections can provide indicators as to what areas of the state are geographically susceptible to the greater and lesser natural hazards of North Carolina. This section accumulates a number of additional indicators that may be useful for mitigation planning purposes, but were not included in the actual scoring for the vulnerability assessments. The data in various parts of this section may be more useful for response and recovery efforts rather than for mitigation planning, yet these indicators still provide valuable information as a supplement to the hazard vulnerability scoring results. Several of the ancillary data indicators that do not focus on response and recovery could possibly be valuable to incorporate in the next update of the North Carolina State Hazard Mitigation Plan, along with the information from local hazard mitigation risk assessments.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the total population of North Carolina in 2010 was 9,535,483. Table 8-1 shows population growth from 2000 to 2010 by county. The State of North Carolina grew by nearly 1.5 million people between the 2000 and 2010. The most rapidly growing counties were Union (62.63 % growth), Brunswick (46.88 %), Camden (44.95 %), Wake (43.50 %), and Hoke (39.55%). Population decreased in Halifax, Hyde, Jones, Lenoir, Martin, Mitchell, and Washington Counties. Table 8-2 shows projected population growth for the periods 2010 to 2020, and 2020 to 2030. Based on projections from 2000, North Carolina's population is projected to increase by 4.043 million people (50.2%), reaching 12.090 million by the end of the thirty year period from April 2000 to April 2030. Union (162%), Hoke, (130.2%, Camden, (127.2%), Johnston (123.7%), Wake (123.7%), Currituck (121.9%), and Brunswick (105.2%) are estimated to have to highest amount of population growth by 2030. Almost 62% of this growth (2.503 million people) will be the result of net migration into the state. The rest will be attributed to natural increase (births minus deaths). As such, it is likely that this population will need to be educated on hazard impact reduction and emergency preparedness. Table 8-1. Population Growth by North Carolina Counties
