    Jim I was wondering if you caught the latest census estimates for our area? What do you make of the discrepancies between the census estimates and Weldon? The Census estimates have Albemarle’s population at 92K as of last july which keeps its pace of 1500 new residents a year rather steady.

    Here is the link BTW: http://www.census.gov/popest/counties/tables/CO-EST2006-01-51.xls
