Talk:List of municipalities in North Carolina

Can someone update the Charlotte skyline photo?
Here is a good photo showing the recently-completed Duke Energy Building http://ww1.prweb.com/prfiles/2013/05/27/11352764/Charlotte%20Skyline%20night.jpg — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.172.91.54 (talk) 21:16, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

Cleanup Complete & Notice for Future Changes
I've gone through the entire list and removed any unincorporated communities, as there is a List of unincorporated communities in North Carolina and they are not official municipalities in the state of North Carolina. I've also removed any consolidated towns and de-incoproated towns. Any futher changes to this list should ONLY be to 1) update a town's status or info 2)change the list formatting 3)add new OFFICIALLY INCORPORATED towns (When I say towns, I mean cities and villages too). Unincorporated communities SHOULD NOT be added in, neither should CDPs. Any inappropriate additions should be reverted. Thanks. --TinMan 21:05, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Cleanup needed for 2022
User:DiscoA340 reverted the cleanup I did to get the municipalities in the correct order following the 2022 estimates update from last year. Several of the cities have inaccurate numbers (according to the source that editor deems acceptable, not the one I used), at least one city no longer belongs on the table as it has been surpassed, and when they were updated last fall the editor who did that did not adjust their order. I'll leave it to someone else to fix as I'm not interested in getting into an edit war and don't want to put the time in a second time to do that cleanup. Ncjon (talk) 20:27, 26 February 2024 (UTC)


 * @Ncjon: I've changed the number order layout so that it now lines up to the first column, but can used for any column when manually adjusted with the arrows. Unfortunately, while the source (https://www.osbm.nc.gov/facts-figures/population-demographics/state-demographer/municipal-population-estimates/municipal-population-change) is official, it does not match the official population counts from the 2020 census and 2022 estimates published by the US Census Bureau (refenced using https://www.census.gov/data/tables/time-series/demo/popest/2020s-total-cities-and-towns.html). That URL is used on List of United States cities by population, where I retrieved the citation from. After testing some of the population counts using U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts (Rocky Mount page for reference), I've found that the original population counts for both columns are correct. Sorry for the inconvenience caused; have a great day! -- DiscoA340 (talk) 20:58, 26 February 2024 (UTC)


 * We really should not include estimates for populations, the US census provides accurate counts, and estimates have been sometimes wildly off. It's not encyclopedic to speculate with estimates when actual census figures are produced. Mattximus (talk) 02:11, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
