Madison County grew by nine percent between 2000 and 2010.

The federal government released Georgia’s Census numbers recently. Madison County’s population increased by 2,390 from 25,730 to 28,120.

Meanwhile, the Madison County town with the highest rate of growth was Hull, with 38 more residents in 2010 than in 2000, a 23.75 percent growth rate. Ila had the lowest increase — nine additional residents, a population jump of 2.7 percent.

According to the Census, Madison County’s racial makeup is 87.6 percent white, down slightly from 89.4 percent in 2000, and 8.4 percent black, the same percentage as 2000.

County commission chairman Anthony Dove said the Census figures were a little lower than the 29,000 to 30,000 he expected, but he said the county grew at a manageable rate, not experiencing the growth explosion that has put a strain on services in other counties.

“Nine percent, that’s some growth, but it’s sustainable,” said Dove.4
