These areas included: - flood prone areas - steep slopes (15%) - poor soils severe percolation problems shallow depth to groundwater or bedrock poor load bearing capacity high plasticity (shrink/swell) c) Existing population patterns were determined by a count and identification of the location of dwellings in the land use survey. For this purpose, the township was divided into four parts using the main roads as dividing lines. The proportional distribution of dwelling unit distribution is as follows: North = 15% South = 42% East = 17% West = 26% (2) Trends Bell summarized development trends within the Township. Housing stock increased by almost one-third (576 units to 763) during the period 1980-85. Subdivided lots less than ten acres in size equaled 144 with an additional 84 lots in 1986. The distribution of these lots is north 11%, south 52%, east 21% and west 16%. During the period 1981-85, 15% of the land under Agriculture Use Value Taxation south of NC 57 and Guess Road was withdrawn from the program. Population increase from 1980-85 was 477 people or a 32% increase over 1980. The 1990 projection is slightly over 2300 residents in Little River Township or a 57% increase over 1980 .
