FOLLOW-UP <br />Staff has determined that the overall impact on population numbers from the <br />delineation of the Orange-Alamance county line will be minimal. The <br />maximum effect on County population numbers will be 200+/- residents. <br />(This increase or decrease would all occur within District 2.) Out of 133,801 <br />County residents, a change of 200+/- residents equates to less than one- <br />quarter of one percent (.0025), a difference which minimally impacts the <br />population deviation percentages for both Districts 1 and 2. <br />12 <br />The Orange-Alamance county line delineation has negligible effect on the <br />population numbers, Board Structure and Districts_ <br />
