High Point's growth rate cools slightly
HIGH POINT — The population surge that followed the COVID-19 pandemic continued into 2024 but slightly slowed for High Point, according to the latest U.S. Census Bureau estimates. The new figures also show that High Point's post-pandemic growth was somewhat faster than estimates released a year ago showed. The new estimates for incorporated cities and towns, released today, show High Point's population reaching 118,601 on July 1, 2024, up 1,003, or nearly 0.9%, from a year earlier. That compares to a national average growth of 1.1% in metro areas and an overall national average of 1%. The Census Bureau also revised the city's growth from July 1, 2022, to July 1, 2023, upward to 1.6% from the original estimate of 1.2%. From mid-2020 to mid-2024, High Point's population grew by 3.3%. In the immediate High Point area, Kernersville had the greatest growth rate from 2023 to 2024, 2.2%, more than double the rate from the previous year. Since 2020, Kernersville has grown 8.2% to 28,760. Other neighboring towns' growth rates from 2023 to 2024: Wallburg grew just under 2.0% to 3,255; Thomasville grew 0.7% to 27,605; Archdale grew 0.3% to 12,147; and Trinity grew by 0.3% to 7,190. County-by-county population estimates released in March already had shown that Guilford County's population grew 1.1% from July 1, 2023, to July 1, 2024, up from 0.6% the previous year, with four-fifths of the growth attributed to immigration. Like the county estimates in March, today's new city population estimates show the Raleigh and Charlotte areas with the greatest numerical growth in the state. Charlotte, the largest city in the state, grew 2.5% to 943,476 up from 1.7% the previous year, and Raleigh, the second-largest, grew 1.8% to 499,825, down just a hair from 1.9% the previous year. High Point remains the state's ninth-largest city, behind Wilmington — which grew 1.4% to 125,284 — and ahead of Concord — which grew 1.8% to 112,395.
