Interesting site, I love looking at maps like this and comparing numbers to places/regions that I lived to where I live. For fun, I looked up the demographics of the county I live in North Carolina (Onslow Co.). I compared it to Pike Co. Pike Co. has a slightly larger land area (786.83 to 762.84). However, the population of Onslow Co is much larger (187,589 to 63,034). Despite the large population difference, Onslow Co. has only one more high school in the entire county than Pike Co.

You live in Onslow County?

I have some good memories there.

Spent many summers on Topsail Island including a college internship.

Have family still in the Sneads Ferry area.


Part of what skews Onslow County heavily is the Marine Base and the beaches. Lots of population base that is transient and/or without kids due to the Marine Base... also a good portion of retired families at the beach with no school age kids.
