Coborrus County Transportation Services Finol Report — September 2015 <br />County is one of the smaller counties in the state terms of land area, it ranked 11th in total <br />population in 2010, which results in a higher population density in terms of number of <br />people per square mile. The 2010 population density of the service area was 492 persons <br />per square mile, compared to the state average of 196 persons per square mile. <br />Part of Cabarrus County is classified as "urbanized" for transportation planning and <br />programming purposes, primarily reflecting the density of development. The Concord, NC <br />urbanized area grew dramatically between 2000 and 2010. According to the 2000 US <br />Census, the Concord urbanized area included 91.2 square miles and included a population <br />of 115,057 people. Based on the 2010 US Census, the urbanized area nearly doubled in size <br />to include 180.2 square miles and a population of 214,881 people. The 2010 urbanized area <br />generally covers the western half of Cabarrus County (including the cities of Concord and <br />Kannapolis and the Town of Harrisburg) and the central portion of Rowan County <br />(including the City of Salisbury and surrounding towns). Within Cabarrus County, the <br />urban area was expanded in 2010 to the south and east of Concord and now includes the <br />Town of Harrisburg. The growth of the urbanized area will change the way transit is <br />funded in Cabarrus County; revenue sources are discussed at length in Section 3.1. <br />Figure 2: Cabarrus County and the Concord Urbanized Area <br />Attachment number 1 \n <br />F -3 Page 89 <br />115 H,0 1— <br />Ir4xle11 0 Raxan `` 52 <br />nvs RtlNFI Ea <br />HVI�50 KN F EN ` <br />UNTER5VIiLE 49 <br />79 <br />Cabarrus <br />119 24 0 <br />49 <br />24 0 s 5 <br />991 <br />stanly 24 <br />t <br />24 <br />—R—E 24 <br />IAN—D <br />Meeklenbura 9 <br />119 <br />27 <br />742) _ <br />174 (2k91 � / v.` r <br />MINT <br />15 . <br />F RNEW <br />wNRS Union 1 i <br />Nn <br />s Ans <br />INDNINTRAIL <br />Legend <br />L 2010 Census Urbanized Area <br />Incorporated Areas <br />County Boundaries <br />Attachment number 1 \n <br />F -3 Page 89 <br />
