About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the Charlotte population over the last 20 plus years. It lists the population for each year, along with the year on year change in population, as well as the change in percentage terms for each year. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population change of Charlotte across the last two decades. For example, using this dataset, we can identify if the population is declining or increasing. If there is a change, when the population peaked, or if it is still growing and has not reached its peak. We can also compare the trend with the overall trend of United States population over the same period of time.

For official crime statistics, please visit CMPD's Crime Statistics page at:https://charlottenc.gov/CMPD/Safety/Pages/CrimeStats.aspx . Includes all CMPD incident report types, both criminal and non-criminal. Many reports are taken only to fully document a non-criminal circumstance like a missing person, lost/missing property, etc. Other reports are only taken to document the recovery of vehicles stolen in other jurisdictions. Each incident is classified based on FBI NIBRS standards by applying a national crime hierarchy to choose the highest offense assigned to each report. More information about NIBRS standards can be found on the FBI website. Cases where Highest NIBRS Code / Highest NIBRS Description is non-criminal offense (codes in the 800 series) should not be included in analysis of total “criminal” incident reports. In addition, data includes incidents with any clearance status, including unfounded cases. A clearance status of “Unfounded” means the report has been investigated and determined either to be a false report or to involve circumstances that do not actually constitute a crime.
