We get the 2007 estimates next year. You don't get estimates for 2007 in 2007.

That's what I needed to know. Thanks

Somebody is a mess for doing this to the wikipeDIa page for Greenville County.

Greenville County is a county located in the state of South Carolina, United States. As of 2005, the population is 407,383, making it the most populous county in the state. It is included in the Greenville, South Carolina Metropolitan Statistical Area. Its county seat is Greenville6. As of 2006 Greenville County population was 465,675 meaning the county is growing at one of the fastest rates in the entire U.S. State of South Carolina The population will be over 500,000 people with in 2 year's it could already be in the 500's

YEAH RIGHT. some people take things too far. It sounds like my six your old cousins wrote this at the end of the sentence

If the grammar and punctuation are any indication, I'd say this was written by a pre-teen? Take Wikipedia for what it's worth.

[krazeeboi]

I've seen all kinds of stuff on a lot of city pages on Wikipedia. It's probably been corrected by now.

I figured Greenville county would be around 430,000 by the time next years estimates come out.

I figured Greenville county would be around 430,000 by the time next years estimates come out.

That seems like a pretty fair assessment, unless Powdersville attracts enough of Greenville's newcomers to offset the numbers a little bit and bring Anderson County back into Greenville's MSA.

[erm1981]

I think in a nother 5-6 years we could be getting close to the 500,000 mark for the county population.

Most of the job announcements that we've heard about, haven't actually kicked in. I'd think that we can expect more large gains in the coming years as those jobs come to fruition and the area continues to improve and attract industry.

Just for kicks: Greenville passes 440,000 next year.

[krazeeboi]

^Greenville will pass the 440K mark this year. The estimates for this year, when they are released next year, will reflect that.

[erm1981]

Im going to say 445,000......Spartanburg will probably be over 300,000 by 2011.

Wow this thread is ancient! So at the current growth rate, Greenville County might hit the half million mark within 4 years? Without annexation, I'm hoping Verdae, Millennium, and Downtown growth can spur the city closer to and beyond 65,000 within the next several years. It would be nice to be pushing 70,000 or more. Obviously.

When are the 2020 numbers coming out? Should be interesting.

They were supposed to come out by Dec 31 but they were delayed, apparently b/c of issues surrounding the inclusion/exclusion of "illegal" individuals.

Here are numbers for World Population Review which uses UN estimates, but they seem to be pretty close to US census numbers each year when those come out. They seem to put out numbers at the beginning of the year as they already say "2021" estimates. Here's the state page and then you can click on counties and cities.

https://worldpopulationreview.com/states/south-carolina-population

The have SC estimate at 5,277,830

Greenville County at 532k in 2020 and 541k in 2021

Greenville City at 72, 421 in 2020 and 74, 207 in 2021

By this site, Greenville gains on RH, Charleston is pulling away from Columbia, who could well be passed by N Chas in the next few years.

What's the release date for the 2020 census?

[gman430]

The Upstate and Greenville, South Carolina are among the top 10 fastest growing metro areas in the United States according to some new research by Redfin. The “Charlanta” corridor (I-85 between Atlanta, Greenville, and Charlotte) is among the fastest-growing metros trailing places like Phoenix, Dallas, Orlando, and Tampa just slightly. According to a recent article in A-Z Business Magazine Greenville is ahead of 9th ranked Charlotte and just behind 7th ranked Atlanta of new in-flow in new homeowners and residents. Greenville gained just shy of 39,000 new residents in 2020 ahead of Charlotte’s nearly 38,000 and just behind Atlanta’s 42,000+ new residents.

Ouch. Greenville is going to get too big and crowded (really quick) at that rate.  Can we get the cat back in the bag, and get everybody relocating to move somewhere else?

[gman430]

^You should see the area between Mauldin and Simpsonville right now. There’s at least 20 subdivisions getting built within 10 minutes of my house with more planned. A few of them will have between 500-1000 homes. 
 

United Van Lines released the company’s 44th Annual National Migration Study, revealing in 2020, Americans continued to move westbound and southbound – and the COVID-19 pandemic factored into and accelerated many of those decisions to move. S.C is #2 on the list:

The cat is probably out of the bag....they're coming to live in this beautiful and prosperous region.  We'll be OK...there's some infrastructure additions/requirements on the horizon (Greenville area) ...taxes will inevitably rise more than we like.

If those figures are correct, it says the Greenville metro grew by 38,000 last year. The metro consists of Greenville, Laurens, Pickens, and Anderson Counties. That means Greenville County would have accounted for at least 25,000 of that (but maybe closer to 30k). This past decade, it has grown by 7-10k per year. So last year's growth would have been 3 times the norm! I liked it better when all the growth was going to Charleston, MYB, Charlotte, etc. I'm going to start touting Cola on the forums and maybe people will move there instead!

speaking of this, remember the snake driver that broke through barricades downtown throwing snakes out of the window of their car?  I never wanted to know the story behind that because it would never be as good as the one I had in mind.  Also, please dont correct me if I have over dramatized this.  :-)
