Abstract
North Carolina’s population has increased dramatically and its composition changed substantially over the last several decades. North Carolina has gone from being a net exporter of people to being a large importer of domestic and international migrants. Much of the population increase has been in the state’s metropolitan areas. Using Census data from 1980-2010, the degree of segregation is traced and the pattern of residence described. North Carolina’s metropolitan areas and large municipalities exhibit a degree of racial segregation which is moderate by national standards and for whites and blacks decreasing in tandem with national trends. White-Hispanic segregation is increasing, however. Migrants from domestic sources and from international sources are moderately segregated from the born and bred.
