Leadership and Knowledge • Empower Leaders to Lead Perception is reality? Accountability? • Statistics don’t lie, BUT liars use statistics!
What’s relevant? Average vs. average county, percent change vs. totals, SO WHAT!
• Not everything of interest can be measured, and not everything that can be measured is of interest!
• How much do you know about Georgia, your district, or your county?

Components of Population Change: 2010-2013 Natural Increase & Net Migration
Numerical change includes “residual” not represented in either NI or NM. Average annual estimates of annual rates per 1,000 population.
Primary data source: U. S. Census Bureau, 2015 County Guide
Until 1960, natural increase (an excess of births over deaths) accounted for virtually all of Georgia's growth. Georgia is expected to rank 4th among 50 states in the number of persons gained through net internal migration during the 30-yr. period of 1995 and 2025.
