SMALLER cities in Virginia and the fringes of metropolitan areas have experienced the greatest population growth between the 1970 census and July 1, 1975, according to new estimates made by Tayloe Murphy Institute researchers at the University of Virginia.
TMI researchers estimated the state’s total population to be 4,966,200 on July 1, 1975, representing a 6.8 per cent jump during the five-year period. Population estimates for cities and counties also “show that non-metropolitan portions of the state increased by 8 per cent since 1970, while metropolitan areas increased by 6.1 percent” in the report updating the 1970 census.
William J. Serow and Julia H. Martin prepared the figures, which include estimates for July 1975 and give percentage changes between 1974 and 1975. Dr. Serow is associate professor and the population research director for TMI, part of The Colgate Darden Graduate School of Business Administration. Dr. Martin is a research associate.
