The third 100,000 population growth was' accomplished in just 14 years, thanks to the recent 32-square mile annexation which brought an additional 44,000 persons into the city. Today, the Charlotte | Chamber of Commerce’s f Population Estimates Task '.Force, chaired by George . Selden, announced that the otncial population estimate for Charlotte as of February 1, 1974 is now 301,700 persons. The increase is enough to move Charlotte from 59th to the 50th largest city in the United States. The Task Force’s estimates are important for a number of reasons. The annual estimate is used by all agencies of the community for purposes of i consistency. Such figures are important in the sale of i governmental bonds, ap I plications for federal grants Vbnd in planning. \ Represented on the Task ^Vorce is the Planning Com H .. mission, The Mecklenburg County Health Department, Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools, Southern Bell and market research specialists from the financial institutions of the city. Because of the cross-section of planning agencies on the Task Force and the methodology used in arriving at the annual estimate, the Task Force experienced only a 2 percent error in estimates between the i96<UjMl i»7Q .county $aagus Unforeseen population shifts due to urban renewal and school unrest caused con siderably more’ error in city estimates during the same period. In addition to the city population estimate, Chair man Selden announced population estimate figures for Mecklenburg County and the Charlotte - Gastonia SMSA (Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area). As of February 1, 1974, the total Mecklenburg County population was estimated at 387,300. The January 1, 1974 estimate for the SMSA, which includes Mecklenburg, Union and Gaston Counties, is 602,500, Charlotte was incorporated as a city in 1768, with a population of less than 200 persons. The 1940 census counted 100,899 persons and the 1960 census recorded 201,564 persons living in Charlotte. Annexation has, historically, played a major role in the growth of the city. The original city limits took in approximately one square mile.
