Discussion

(Winston-Salem, North Carolina)

Before you begin crafting your discussion response for this week, be sure to visit the U.S. Census Bureau page focused on the community you selected for your Portfolio Project in Module 2.

Find data about the area you selected. Be sure to examine population growth or decline over a period of time. What trends do you see as far as population growth or decline, change in average age in your area, and ethnic changes over time? Based on your own observations, how are demographics in your area currently changing? What are some of the implications of these changes? How does this information influence your thinking about your public health project for this class?
