  • Census 2010: Magistrates OK redistricting plan

    When some Shelby County magistrates expressed dissatisfaction last week with how their new district boundaries might look after the ongoing redistricting process was complete, Shelby County Judge-Executive Rob Rothenburger said they were going to “roll up their shirt sleeves” and work out those problems.
    And that’s just what they did Tuesday night at the Stratton Center in a workshop that delivered a new district map that met everyone’s satisfaction.

    “I’m really happy with it,” District 3 Magistrate Allen Ruble said.

    And that difference is only more distinct in Shelby County, where the average age for a woman is 38.9 to 37.5 for a man - although here the men aren’t quite as juvenile as they are in most counties.

  • Shelby’s population continues to go boom

    As the 2010 U.S. Census numbers slowly start to trickle in, the first round of population statistics surprised no one in Shelby County: We’re growing, and we’re growing fast.

    What the numbers did prove is that Simpsonville, Shelbyville and Shelby County are growing with purpose, and each entity has been able to take that growth in stride.

    Simpsonville and Shelbyville both ranked as two of the fastest growing cities in the state.
