I just now realized this, but there were a few things regarding the most recent census estimates that we ignored.
First, Shelby County is now home to over 200,000 people. That means that Jefferson and Shelby Counties together are home to roughly 18% of the state (just two counties).
Also, many of you might have realized that the Columbus-Phenix City area is growing pretty rapidly. First of all, Phenix City grew (between 2010 and 2012) twice as fast as Columbus. Second, Russell County, AL accounted for roughly 39% of the entire Columbus-Phenix City metro growth. Just so you know... Russell County, AL only account for one out of the 5 counties in that metro.
Those two are just a few interesting things I've noticed over the course of a few months.
