Well the Savannah Stopover led into a great St. Patrick’s Day, and the Savannah Music Festival is just a week away.
But at some point I’m going to be getting back to doing some hard work . . .
The census data for Georgia was released yesterday, and I’ll admit that I was surprised by the count for Chatham County. It was quite a bit higher than I expected, which ironically makes our employment and housing data look oddly worse. I’ll be elaborating on that in upcoming columns in the SMN.
But for now, here’s a small embedded map with county by county population counts — as well as color codes for % growth from 2000 to 2010. The map clearly shows declining population in rural southwest Georgia.
