Wake Forest Named Fastest Growing City in NC
Those of us living in the Triangle area for any length of time are not surprised by the latest population data that says Wake Forest is the fastest growing city in NC. Between the Heritage development and many newer ones folks have been flocking to Wake Forest. With the new 98 Bypass and all of the retail development that’s continuing to be done I think Wake Forest will continue to grow, in spite of the economy downturn of the past two years. Here are the numbers.
Number of households: 17,803
Percent change: +8% since 2008 (+118% since 2000)
Average household income: $82,771 (+18% since 2000)
Why: Not far from the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill Triangle, Wake Forest has attracted residents with excellent quality of life, public schools and health-care resources. Gadberry also notes the high percentage of children and ethnic diversity here.
