Growth in Population, Gross Domestic Product, Per Capita GDP & Proportions of College-Educated Adults
Source publication
Focusing on the narrower concept of a knowledge-economy-based growth strategy, this paper explores whether a strong link between a college-educated population and a region's economic performance was an important ingredient in the growth experience of the Sunbelt during the 1990s. The issue is addressed through analysis of two different datasets. Fi...

... on the last decade of the 20 th century, the aggregate statistics presented in Table 1 show that the population of the 15-state Sunbelt region grew more than twice as fast as the Non-Sunbelt states between 1990 and 2000. The Sunbelt states also outpaced the rest of the nation in terms of aggregate economic growth -for example, the GDP of the Sunbelt region increased 78 percent over the decade compared with 60 percent for the Non-Sunbelt states. ...
Context 2
... economies of some areas in the Sunbelt have clearly benefited from knowledge economy-based growth, but the statistics in Table 1 show that much of the region still lags far behind in developing know- ledge-based resources. For example, a recent Milken Institute study of Arkansas' position in the know- ledge-based economy ranked the state next-to-last in knowledge-economy resources, and the analysis cau- tioned that several other Sunbelt states were in similar, if slightly better situations (Milken Institute 2004). ...

... this special Census report chose to focus on young, unmarried college graduates, it makes more sense to take a somewhat broader look at all young college graduates as the subgroup most important for what is happening with an area's human capital re- sources. The numbers presented in Table 1 already demonstrated this desirable subpopulation is a smaller share of all young adults in the 15-state Sunbelt region than in the Non-Sunbelt states. The net migration fig- ures in Table 2 show that the Sunbelt states as a region gained a total of more than 200,000 young college- educated individuals from the rest of the nation over the 1995-2000 period. ...

... young, college-educated persons made up 13.9 percent of total net migration into the region -substantially higher than the 5.8 per- cent share this subpopulation made up of the 5 + popu- lation of the region in 2000. Still, even after adding gaining these "economically desirable" new residents at the expense of the Non-Sunbelt states, the propor- tion of college-educated young adults in the Sunbelt region remained substantially below the rest of the nation in 2000 (see Table 1). Six of the 15 Sunbelt states actually had net out- flows of young, college-educated individuals, and for states like Florida, Nevada, and Arizona these poten- tial knowledge economy workers made up a very small part of their population gains. ...

Homeowners in coastal environments often augment their access to estuarine ecosystems by building private docks on their personal property. Despite the commonality of docks, particularly in the Southeastern United States, few works have investigated their historical development, their distribution across the landscape, or the environmental justice dimensions of this distribution. In this study, we used historic aerial photography to track the abundance and size of docks across six South Carolina counties from the 1950s to 2016. Across our roughly 60-year study period, dock abundance grew by two orders of magnitude, mean length of newly constructed docks doubled, and the cumulative length of docks ballooned from 34 to 560 km. Additionally, we drew on census data interpolated into consistent 2010 tract boundaries to analyze the racial and economic distribution of docks in 1994, 1999, 2011, and 2016. Racial composition, measured as the percentage of a tract’s population that was White, positively correlated with dock abundance in each year. Median household income and dock abundance were only correlated in 2011. Taken together, these metrics indicate the growing desire for direct estuary access, however, that access does not appear to be equally spread across racial groups. Because docks enhance estuarine access and demarcate private property, our study provides longitudinal insights into environmental justice concerns related to disparate private property ownership. We found a persistent correlation between the racial characteristics of an area and dock abundance, strongly indicating that White South Carolinians have had disproportionately greater private water access for the past two decades.
Hedonic modeling techniques and a difference-in-difference identification strategy were used in this study to examine the impact of an adequate public facilities ordinance (APFO) on the sale price of single-family housing in Cabarrus County, North Carolina. Plans to increase development fees collected as part of this land-use regulation were found to put upward pressure on existing housing prices in the 30 month period immediately following the announced policy change. The results suggest that policy-makers evaluating the merits of APFOs must consider their desires to manage growth and maintain housing affordability when using this regulatory tool. These considerations appear to be very important when municipalities intend to use development fees to finance needed infrastructure improvements during periods of robust housing market demand, such as the one that existed in Cabarrus County in the mid-2000s.
