N.C. population grew 18.5 percent, Census
By Barb Barrett and Matt Ehlers - Staff writers
WASHINGTON -- North Carolina's population grew 18.5 percent over the past decade, according to 2010 numbers released Tuesday by the U.S. Census Bureau.
The Old North State was home to 9,535,483 people on April 1, 2010. The state has seen tremendous growth during the past 20 years: in 1990, the population was about 6.6 million.
“It is no coincidence that the states gaining population the fastest over the last 10 years have lower tax rates and, consequently, stronger economies,” said McHenry, who is ranking member of the Subcommittee on Information Policy, Census and National Archives
