  • 3.0 EXISTING ROCKINGHAM COUNTY CONDITIONS 3.1 Population
    3.0 EXISTING ROCKINGHAM COUNTY CONDITIONS 3.1 Population Rockingham County experienced a steady increase in population during the past several decades. In particular, the County population increased nearly seven percent between 1990 and 2000 (see Table 6 below). It is estimated that the County population reached 92,614 persons in 2005, and this resulted in less than a one percent increase in population in the five years since 2000. This seems to project a more modest increase in County population by the end of this current decade (assuming the estimated trend remains constant). Table 6 – Rockingham County Population Growth (1980-2005) Numeric Percent Year Population Change Change 1980 83,426 n/a n/a 1990 86,064 2,638 3.16% 2000 91,928 5,864 6.81% 2005 92,614 686 0.75% Source: US Census Bureau, 2006 In terms of population change within specific geographic areas of Rockingham County, Table 7 below depicts the County’s municipal growth trends between 1990 and 2000. Reidsville and Eden were the only municipalities that experienced population growth during this period, and Reidsville had the highest increase–nearly 20%. However, Reidsville’s population increase was due in part to an annexation that occurred in 1990. The town of Wentworth is not included in Table 7 because it was not incorporated until 1998.
