Development decisions are influenced by change in population. The map at the left shows the percentage change of population between the 1990 census count and the U.S. Census count in 2000.

Counties shaded in green either lost population or remained relatively stable in numbers while the yellow to red shading indicates increasing population numbers.

Penn State University, Carnegie Mellon University, University of Rhode Island, and the Virginia Institute of Marine Science are collaborating with the U.S. EPA and private and public stakeholders of the mid- and upper-Atlantic region. Support for CARA is provided by the Global Change Research Program, Office of Research and Development, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (Cooperative Agreement R-83053301).
