"Charlotte metro county numbers for 2016:\n \n\n\n\tThese are the fastest growing and shrinking counties in North Carolina\n \n\n\n\tMecklenburg at 1,054,835. Still currently the largest county in North Carolina, but Wake is only eight thousand away from overtaking us.\n \n\n\n\tCabarrus is now over 200k. York and Lancaster are exploding in growth. Union still doing well. Many of the outlying counties like Cleveland and Stanly are declining in population.\n \n\n\n\tThe Charlotte MSA is now at 2,474,314. The CSA is at 2,632,247. By either next year or the year after, the Charlotte CSA should surpass Pittsburgh's to become the twentieth largest CSA in the country.  \n \n"
