However, use caution when making any <br />comparisons between US Census Data (1980, 1990, and 2000) and NC OBPM estimates (2005). For Orange <br />County, it is significant that the NC OBPM does not project populations for unincorporated areas. Rather, <br />o unincorporated populations are yielded from the resulting balance after municipal and countywide population <br />estimates are made. The Orange County Planning Department believes that the 2005 estimate provided for <br />unincorporated Orange County (46,964) may below and the data provided in Table C1 c on Page C4 should be <br />consulted for comparison. See the Land Use Element (to be completed) for a summary of building permits <br />issued in Orange County since the 2000 US Census. <br />2d� Chart: Orange County Municipal and Uninco orp rated Population, 1980 -2000 6—V V i 5 E-d <br />50,000 <br />45,000 <br />40,000 <br />c <br />35,000 <br />30,000 <br />25,000 <br />CL 20,000 <br />a <br />15,000 <br />10,000 <br />5,000 <br />1980 <br />1990 <br />9/6/2007 B2.4 <br />2000 <br />Town of Carrboro <br />Town of Chapel Hill <br />Town of Hillsborough <br />Unincorporated County <br />Source: US Census Bureau <br />
