135. Some takeaways…
• We have a strong, well-educated work force and an
increasingly diverse population.
• Local municipalities share attributes but have also
have differences.
• We are growing and will grow, but slower than our
neighbors as we take a small portion of regional
growth and state population growth.
• We have a large disparity in wealth and continue to
see increases in children in poverty
136. Some takeaways…
• Growth in Chapel Hill and Orange County employed
residents and growth in retail sales indicate
economic improvement.
• A reliable, high quality water system is expensive
• Housing prices have held steady, are ahead of our
peers, but price per square foot is declining.
• The rental market is growing and lack of supply is
driving rates up quickly
137. Some takeaways…
• Fewer Orange County residents are working in the
county with in and out commute both increasing
• Our two school districts continue to out perform their
peers and state averages
• Minority student achievement is on the
rise, specifically in Orange County Schools
• Tourism and visitor spending are strong and growing .
• Orange County per capita income is the highest and
unemployment is the lowest in the state, but per
capita retails sales continues to lag substantially as the
retail gap grows
138. Some takeaways…
• Wealth migration has negative impact on Orange
County, but a positive impact on our neighbors
• UNC and UNC Hospitals are key to our economy
and their decline in state funding can have big
negative impacts.
• Our economy and community are resilient. We
were late into the recession and first out.
