Demographics describe the composition of a population in a statistical manner – looking at factors like age, education, race and income. For the purposes of Crossroads Charlotte, race was an important factor. Statistics predict that by the year 2015, whites will no longer be the majority in Charlotte, but equal with or less in number than the non-white population. The growing racial and ethnic diversity of the community, influx of newcomers, and impact of the baby boom/bust/echo will all play a part in Charlotte's shifting demographics in 2015.
