Durham's population is changing. The recent Census shows Durham’s population is increasing and becoming more diverse. Demographic analysis plays a key role in many City and County programs. The Department supplies analysis of population, housing, employment and land use figures, including a population estimate for the City and County every six months. Some federal and state funding is based on population; the Planning Department works to ensure Durham’s population is accurately counted.
