About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the Raleigh 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 Raleigh 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.

Key observations

In 2023, the population of Raleigh was 482,295, a 1.87% increase year-by-year from 2022. Previously, in 2022, Raleigh population was 473,423, an increase of 0.55% compared to a population of 470,813 in 2021. Over the last 20 plus years, between 2000 and 2023, population of Raleigh increased by 192,216. In this period, the peak population was 482,295 in the year 2023. The numbers suggest that the population has not reached its peak yet and is showing a trend of further growth. Source: U.S. Census Bureau Population Estimates Program (PEP).

In anticipation of the FBI transitioning to NIBRS by January 2021, the Raleigh Police Department was one of the first agencies in North Carolina to convert from the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) program Summary Reporting System (SRS) to the UCR - National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS) in June 2014.NIBRS now collects each offense, victim, offender, property, and arrestee information on 52 unique offenses and up to 10 offenses per incident. These new categories can be more defined and increasingly vary at the local level. As a result, these differences can make it difficult to compare statistics.For more information about NIBRS, go to FBI website: https://ucr.fbi.gov/nibrs-overviewUpdate Frequency: DailyTime Period: June 2014-Present

The prevailing demographic model for Drosophila melanogaster suggests that the colonization of North America occurred very recently from a subset of European flies that rapidly expanded across the continent. This model implies a sudden population growth and range expansion consistent with very low or no population subdivision. As flies adapt to new environments, local adaptation events may be expected. To describe demographic and selective events during North American colonization, we have generated a data set of 35 individual whole-genome sequences from inbred lines of D. melanogaster from a west coast US population (Winters, California, USA) and compared them with a public genome data set from Raleigh (Raleigh, North Carolina, USA). We analysed nuclear and mitochondrial genomes and described levels of variation and divergence within and between these two North American D. melanogaster populations. Both populations exhibit negative values of Tajima's D across the genome, a common signature of demographic expansion. We also detected a low but significant level of genome-wide differentiation between the two populations, as well as multiple allele surfing events, which can be the result of gene drift in local subpopulations on the edge of an expansion wave. In contrast to this genome-wide pattern, we uncovered a 50-kilobase segment in chromosome arm 3L that showed all the hallmarks of a soft selective sweep in both populations. A comparison of allele frequencies within this divergent region among six populations from three continents allowed us to cluster these populations in two differentiated groups, providing evidence for the action of natural selection on a global scale.

In 2013, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in partnership with the U.S. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) published a new national stormwater quality model called the Stochastic Empirical Loading Dilution Model (SELDM; Granato, 2013). The model is optimized for roadway projects but in theory can be applied to a broad range of development types. SELDM is a statistically-based empirical model pre-populated with much of the data required to successfully run the application (Granato, 2013). The model uses Monte Carlo methods (as opposed to deterministic methods) to generate a wide range of precipitation events and stormwater discharges coupled with water-quality constituent concentrations and loads from the upstream basin and highway site. SELDM is particularly useful for stormwater managers in its ability to provide the statistical probability of a water-quality standard exceedance that could occur downstream of a stormwater discharge location during the period of record simulated as part of a SELDM analysis. SELDM can be used to model a variety of Best Management Practices (BMPs), which allows the user to evaluate the subsequent instream water-quality benefit of different stormwater treatment devices. This functionality makes the model well suited for supporting BMP-specific cost/benefit analyses. In 2015, the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) initiated a partnership with the USGS South Atlantic Water Science Center (Raleigh, North Carolina office) to enhance the national SELDM model with additional data specific to North Carolina (NC) to improve the model’s predictive performance across the State. Specific USGS data incorporated to enhance the NC SELDM model included selected North Carolina streamflow data as well as water-quality transport curves for selected constituents. SELDM streamflow statistics (based on data through the 2015 water year) were computed for 266 continuous-record streamgages and updated in the StreamStats database, which is accessible from the USGS StreamStats application for North Carolina (available online via https://streamstats.usgs.gov/ss/). Instantaneous streamflow data available at 30 selected continuous-record streamgages across North Carolina, with drainage areas ranging from 4.12 to 63.3 square miles, were used to develop site-specific recession ratio statistics. Water-quality data through the 2016 water year were used to develop water-quality transport curves for 27 streamgages for the following constituents: suspended sediment concentration, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, turbidity, copper, lead, and zinc. The NCDOT identified NC highway-runoff research reports containing water-quality and quantity data available from non-USGS sources. These data were reviewed by USGS and – where deemed acceptable – were uploaded into the FHWA Highway-Runoff Database, the data warehouse and preprocessor for SELDM (Granato and others, 2018; Granato and Cazenas, 2009; Smith and Granato, 2010). Based on the analysis techniques documented by Granato (2014) in a national BMP study and using available water-quality sample data from selected highway-runoff and BMP site pairs, performance data from the NC highway-runoff research reports were also analyzed and incorporated into the NC SELDM model for three BMP types. Results of analyses completed during development of the NC SELDM model are documented in Weaver and others (2019). In 2018, USGS and NCDOT initiated an additional “phase 2” study for the NC SELDM model to complete numerous model simulations to develop an NC_SELDM_Catalog (Microsoft Excel spreadsheet) of outputs for a wide range of highway catchment and upstream basin variables. A total of 74,880 SELDM simulations were completed across the Piedmont, Blue Ridge, and Coastal Plain regions (24,960 per region) in North Carolina. Within each region, the completed simulations represented 12,480 design scenarios (one each using the grass swale and bioretention BMP device for treatment of runoff). The overall purpose of the catalog is to provide a tool to NCDOT and others to use during the transportation design process to rapidly assess the potential level of BMP that may be needed for treatment of highway runoff.
