County GDP, various figures:

https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2019-us-gdp-concentration-counties/

https://www.bea.gov/system/files/2019-12/lagdp1219.pdf

Meck is 35% greater than Wake by Census tables GDP. Wake + Durham passes Meck. Counties around those three add much smaller amounts to totals. The big  ones are truly large.

Dang - Studying those numbers reveal that Mecklenburg County (Real) GDP alone could possibly grow to become/represent One Fifth of the State GDP within just the next 2 years.  If growth continues then Meck could represent One Fourth of NC’s entire GDP within 10 years.  That’s incredible to imagine.  

For comparison - Kings County, NY (Pop of 2.5 Million) has a smaller 2018 (Real) GDP than Mecklenburg.  Charlotte continues to punch above its weight.

After further study of those Real GDP listed by states here are the 2018 rankings and my predictions based on the rate of growth of the Top 12 State (Real) GDP;

Current 2018

CA: 2,721.6 (Billions)

TX: 1,712.7

NY: 1,435.6

FL: 924.8

IL: 769.8

PA: 711.8

OH: 605.3

NJ: 555.7

GA: 528.9

WA: 511.6

MA: 506.0

NC: 497.3

NC will overtake MA in real GDP in the next 3 to 5 years at current rates and overtake WA within 10 to 12 years for 10th place.  GA will overtake NJ in the next 3 or 4 years at current rates and threaten OH (but not overtake it) within 10 or 12 years.  FL will retain it place but finally cross into the Trillion Dollar Real GDP threshold within the next 10 to 12 years.  All other rankings will remain the same.  The Southeast is certainly rising in Top 10 Real GDP rankings very quickly.

It already is and will remain to be about 1/5th right? Or did I do the math wrong? Either way, Mecklenburg 1/5th of entire state GDP? That's huge!

Current Mecklenburg Real GDP = 97.6 as of 2018.  

1/5th of NC Real GDP = 99.46 so we’re not there yet.  At least not officially but at the rate Meck is growing it’ll be only a year or two in order for the numbers to be made official.  

Mecklenburg reaching 1/4th of NC’s Real GDP is a much more difficult achievement and at best would be nearly 2 decades away now that I’ve re-run my numbers if it ever achieves that (Meck would need to be around 130 to 150).  Currently Fulton County, GA (Atlanta) is nearly 1/3rd of Georgia’s Real GDP by itself - Gargantuan.  Likewise - King County, WA (Seattle) is more than half of Washington State Real GDP.

I like that NC’s GDP growth is a bit more Statewide than just along one major Center.  This is the reason why we’ll eventual overtake Massachusetts and eventually Washington State’s Real GDP within a decade or slightly more.  

We'll never match their per Capita GDP rates which will remain very high.

State Population estimates have been released and N.C. continues to be on the top 10 in numerical and percentage increases! We’ve gained around 107,000 people in the past year putting us at 10,488,084 people.  Georgia gained slightly less than us but they are still ahead at 10,617,423.  

It was interesting to see that NY, California and Illinois saw another year of big population loss as well as West Virginia.  I was surprised to see also New Jersey as one of the states that lost people also.  
 

Overall it looks like we will continue to high growth for a while.  Hopefully smart growth!

Technically....    ....57 years.    However......the fastest growing states in the US, historically, have been those that have multiple economic centers.  Georgia is largely a one horse state.  North Carolina, on the other hand well, has much more horse power...  IMHO, barring any more insanity in our General Assembly, we should once again overtake Georgia in less than 57 years.  If we hadn't given away our film and TV industry to Georgia, I would guarantee it.  All that free publicity we forfeited hurts us.

The nation's estimated population as of 07/01/2019 was 328,239,523. 

The U.S. Census Bureau divides the nation into 4 Regions:  Northeast, Midwest, South and West. 

The estimated pop. of each of the 4 Regions was:  Northeast:  55,982,803;  Midwest:  68,329,004;   South: 125,580,448;  and  West: 78,347,268. 

The South's est. pop. as of 07/01/2019 (125,580,448) was larger than the populations of the Northeast and Midwest combined (124,311,807).

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 10 states lost population from 07/01/2018 to 07/02/2019.  The 10 States that lost population were: 

NY (-76,790; -0.4%),  IL (-51,250; -0.4%),  WV (-12,144; -0.7%),  LA (-10,896; -0.2%),  CT (-6,233; -0.2%),  MS (-4,871; -0.2%),  HI (-4,721; -0.3%),  NJ (-3,835; 0.0%),  AK (-3,594; -0.5%),  and VT (-369  ; -0.1%).

NC was one of nine states with a population of over 10M in 2019.  NC's est. pop. as of 07/01/2019 was 10,488,084, which was an increase of 106,469 residents since 07/01/2018.

The one thing that shocked me about it, is the sharp decrease in births and sharp increase in deaths since 2007.

It's interesting to compare Charlotte's population and land area with Atlanta ("big brother" southern city) and Seattle (just because I'm familiar with it). Wikipedia says Charlotte has 308 square miles of land, Atlanta has 133 square miles of land, and Seattle has 84 square miles of land. It really tells you a lot about how different the density is in those three cities.

(NYC, meanwhile, has about the same amount of land as Charlotte but almost ten times the people. Imagine how insane Charlotte would feel with just twice the people, and then multiply that times 5).

The one thing that shocked me about it, is the sharp decrease in births and sharp increase in deaths since 2007.  

Not that surprising when you look at how many 30 somethings don't have children (and many don't ever want children). Cultural factors are at work as well as economic factors (people don't want 4 kids when it costs so much to raise them).  The biological clock starts ticking as well for those getting married after 30 and infertility is on the rise as people try to have children past peak child bearing years (around age 17 to 28). The baby boomer and silent generation is then dying off as they age, have heart attacks, get cancer, et. For every baby boomer that had 3 - 4 siblings, as they die off they get replaced by a family today having 1 (maybe 2) kids.

Demographics are predictable. The increase in births that peaked in 2007 represents the grandchildren of the baby boomers whose peak birth year was 1957. 1957+25+25=2007. Other factors contribute certainly. Economics, changes in birth control access, immigration and others. Still, the main factor is the wave recedes and then returns.

My god-daughter had her first child this year and I told her what great planning it was for him to be born during a decline in births. A decline of ~12% from 2007 means he and his cohort will have greater access to all of opportunities in life, from day care through school, college, work life and onward due to the reduced competition for all of life's choices. Schools must remain enrolled even through periods of fewer potential enrollees. Businesses will need employees even if there are fewer applicants. 

As a boomer myself I know what it is like to compete furiously for limited opportunities throughout life. Every school I attended was overcrowded. College admission was especially competitive. Career options opened and closed without warning. A war in Viet Nam scooped many excess youth and made the war possible. Yes, boomers established cultural norms but there was a price each individual paid. Those born this year and the next few will have the reverse situation.

At this rate, we’ll catch Georgia in a thousand years  

For me - What’s more important is that we catch Jacksonville, FL.  I’d love for Charlotte to overtake them as the largest City by Population in the South East.  Jacksonville is the low hanging fruit that I hope we overtake in the 2024 to 2027 timeframe.

Also - Another Major Recession could affect everything - throwing all predictions and migration & growth patterns out of whack.  I hope CLT/NC continues to grow and diversify its economies to weather economic storms better and stay attractive through them.  

As far as catching Georgia - I’m just happy we’re on their heels!

Atlanta,  GA is 1/2 the land area of Charlotte with abiut 1/2 the population.

Based on an analysis of the U.S. Census Bureau's state population estimates released yesterday (12/30/19),  Brookings Institution demographer and senior fellow, William Frey, projects that when the 435 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives are reapportioned following the 2020 decennial Census, it is probable that 7 states (all in the South or West) will gain seats.   10 states will lose seats.   Here are Mr. Frey's projections.

States gaining  Congressional seat(s) include: 

• Texas  - 3 seats
• Florida - 2 seats
• North Carolina  - 1 seat
• Arizona - 1 seat
• Colorado - 1 seat
• Montana - 1 seat
• Oregon - 1 seat

 

Mr. Frey projects that the following States will each lose one Congressional seat:

• California -1 seat
• Alabama - 1 seat
• Illinois - 1 seat
• Michigan - 1 seat
• Minnesota - 1 seat
• New York - 1 seat
• Ohio - 1 seat
• Pennsylvania - 1 seat
• Rhode Island - 1 seat
• West Virginia - 1 seat

 

Following the 2010 decennial Census, North Carolina was allocated 13 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives.  If Mr. Frey's analysis is correct, North Carolina's Congressional delegation will gain 1 more seat for a total of 14 seats in the House of Representatives.

Lord.....the state legislature can not even redistrict the current 13 seats properly and now there's a potential 14th seat to worry about!!!

I'm just worried that most of those announcements he mentions will be Triangle-centric considering the source. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy when Raleigh and the Triangle win too, I just have no appetite for the scales to be tilted in Raleigh's direction.

Rarely does a company strongly consider both Charlotte and Raleigh Durham area they tend to attract different companies.  Sometimes it happens but not much .   Look at the recent Microsoft announcement 400 new jobs in Charlotte and 500 in Raleigh (Morrisville) however their jobs (Wake county's)  were higher paying (not by much) because they were more programming.  Truist Bank moved here because of our financial pool of labor.  I am Pro-NC all over any other  state over any other state.

I get what you're saying. I wasn't really very clear with my original post. Part of the reason it's unclear is because it's so unlikely. What I was trying to say is that I would assume the positive news he was referring to would probably be for the Triangle. I was imagining the unlikely scenario that there would only be positive news for the Triangle and not much happening in Charlotte. If that were to be the case, I'd be happy for the Triangle, but not enough to keep me from being massively disappointed that Charlotte wasn't getting our own announcements. In other words, I doubt the good news he mentions will relate to Charlotte and I just wish we had someone at his level saying "good things are in the works for Charlotte" too.

I'm not sure that makes my comment any clearer honestly.

while he was speaking in Durham at the Imperial Center I do think he was talking about the state not just the Triangle locally.
