During 2014, the Wake Forest Inspections Department issued permits for 548 new homes where an estimated 1,550 new town residents are living or will soon be living.
These figures are unofficial estimates based on the monthly report from the inspections department and calculated using Planning Department Director Chip Russell’s figure of 2.83 residents for each household. That is also the figure used by the U.S. Census.
The numbers were broken out into 84 apartment units, 87 townhouse units and 377 single-family homes, all in a number of new and existing subdivisions.
The Gazette will publish the official numbers when the 2014 Annual Development Report is issued by the planning department.
