5—2 <br />Orange County Comprehensive Parks and Recreation Master Plan <br /> CHAPTER 5 - Demographics and Driving Factors 5 <br />A. Population Density <br /> <br />The population density of the county is, as may be expected, most tightly clustered in Chapel Hill and Carrboro, <br />and to a lesser degree, along the Hillsborough to Mebane corridor. The town of Carrboro is among the most <br />densely-populated communities in the state. <br /> <br />Outside of these urban towns and suburban corridors, other areas of moderate-density suburban-type <br />population may be found in several parts of the county: <br /> The triangular area between Interstate 85 and Interstate 40 in Chapel Hill and Eno townships <br /> Areas east and northeast of Hillsborough, including the St. Mary’s Road corridor <br /> The area along the Durham County line north of Interstate 85, <br /> Areas of Bingham and Chapel Hill townships, west and northwest of Carrboro <br /> Areas along US 70 both east and west of Hillsborough, and <br /> The area south of Chapel Hill and Carrboro bordering the Chatham County line. <br /> <br /> <br />Map 5-1: Total Population—2010 Census <br />58
