Michael Spar is an Associate Professor at the Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service at the University of Virginia. The Cooper Center has been calculating Virginia’s official population since World War II.On this edition of WINA’s Charlottesville–Right Now! with Coy Barefoot, he discusses the population growth across the state. Spar outlines how the Center estimates population trends, which counties are growing the fastest, and which jurisidictions are losing people.
Of the 7.6 million people living in Virginia today, half were born here, forty percent came from other states, and a tenth moved here from another country. You can find all of the demographic information on the Cooper Center’s website. Kenton Ngo has a post on this topic on his blog 750 Volts. Jeremy Borden wrote about the report for the Charlottesville Daily Progress. |
