Area populations increasing, UVa center says

Charlottesville Region

“All of the localities in the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission’s service area have experienced population growth over the last three years, with the city of Charlottesville having the biggest increase. That’s according to data released last week by the Weldon Cooper Center at the University of Virginia.

Charlottesville experienced a 7.2 percent increase since the 2010 Census to an estimate of 46,623 residents on July 1, 2013. Of that number, 791 were births and 2,357 were new residents. ‘Charlottesville did grow relatively quickly between 2010 and 2013, it was the 9th fastest growing locality in the state during the period,” said Hamilton Lombard with the Weldon Cooper Center."
