With 2020 Census results coming in, the main takeaway for Graham County so far is a substantial population loss.  According to the numbers released in August, the county lost 9.4 percent of its population between April 1, 2010 and April 1, 2020.

On paper, it appears that Graham County has North Carolina’s lowest response rate for the 2020 U.S. Census.  A self-response rate chart released May 2 indicated that only 19.8 percent of Graham residents have completed the decennial survey, putting the county dead last in the state.
