<br />Five parameters are generally considered in determining the "transit- dependent" population of an area:
<br />(1) number of persons age 60 or above; (2) number of disabled persons; (3) population in households
<br />under the federal poverty level; (4) number of households without access to motor vehicles; and (5)
<br />minority population. Based on historic patterns, these five indicators tend to provide information on
<br />areas where the demand for human - services transit service is likely to be highest. The following table
<br />provides information about these parameters for the TAWO area.
<br />Demographic Information on "Transit- Dependent" Parameters (based on 2010 Census)
<br />* Information in these categories comes from the 2009 -2011 American Community survey, and isbased on extrapolated sample data over a
<br />three -year period rather than a full population count. Fercentageson these items are calculated using three -year estimate data.
<br />* *Minority, as used here, includes persons who selected a race/ ethnicity other than" White Alone - Non - Hispanic' on the Census.
<br />The counties in the TAFO region have experienced significant growth in the years between 2000 and
<br />2010, growing from a total population of 288,845 in 2000 to 343,419 in 2010 (18.9% growth). The
<br />population of the rural portions of these counties also grew, from 192,473 in 2000 to 241,281 in 2010
<br />(25.4 %growth). General trendswithin the region include the growth of the Hispanic/ Latino population
<br />(particularly in the Sler City area of Chatham County, the Sanford area of Lee County, and the Fbbbins
<br />area of Moore County); growth in the population over the age of 60 (particularly in Chatham and Moore
<br />Counties); and continued residential growth driven by people commuting to the nearby Paleigh,
<br />Durham, and Fayetteville regions. The maps on the following pages display information on the "transit -
<br />dependent" parameters3 at the Census Tract level (smallest geography with available data).
<br />3 Disability information is not currently available at the Census Tract level due to changes in the American
<br />Community Survey methodology in 2008. This information should be available in future years, however. At this
<br />time, maps have not been created for disability status. Refer to the table for county -level data.
