Demographics

Population

Greensboro is the third largest city in North Carolina, home to 287,019 residents (2016). The City has added more than
63,000 people since 2000, growing by approximately 28%. The most populous census tract in the City is just west of
Downtown, between Market Street and Oakland Avenue, and includes the University of North Carolina at Greensboro
(UNCG) and Greensboro College. Other densely populated tracts encompass North Carolina A&T State University (NC A&T),
older neighborhoods with smaller lots, and neighborhoods with large apartment complexes. The least-populated census
tracts are found primarily at the edges of the City where residential lots are typically larger and densities are lower than
tracts closer to the central business district. These tracts also contain industrial areas and employment centers with
relatively few residents.
