EspañolEMERALD ISLE, NORTH CAROLINA
'Emerald Isle' is a town in Carteret County, North Carolina, United States. It is part of the Crystal Coast and is located entirely on the Bogue Banks. The population was 3,488 at the 2000 census, but as many as 50,000 visitors inhabit the area during the summer season, filling up vacant rental properties that do not count toward official census results.[1]
Construction on the island began in earnest in the 1960s and has accelerated since then. Today, much of the oceanfront is lined with homes that many would consider to be McMansion-sized. The rapid development of the island has resulted in a precarious economic and ecological situation, with many of those homes at risks due to poor management of natural resources.[1] Undeveloped land on the island is very scarce, and therefore, very expensive.
Emerald Isle is located at (34.666994, -77.013482).
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 13.7 km² (5.3 mi²). 13.6 km² (5.2 mi²) of it is land and 0.1 km² (0.04 mi²) of it (0.57%) is water.
As of the census of 2000, there were 3,488 people, 1,644 households, and 1,088 families residing in the town. The population density was 257.0/km² (665.3/mi²). There were 6,017 housing units at an average density of 443.4/km² (1,147.8/mi²). The racial makeup of the town was 96.67% White, 0.80% African American, 0.46% Native American, 0.63% Asian, 0.03% Pacific Islander, 0.29% from other races, and 1.12% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 1.63% of the population.
There were 1,644 households out of which 16.0% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 60.6% were married couples living together, 4.0% had a female householder with no husband present, and 33.8% were non-families. 26.0% of all households were made up of individuals and 8.6% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.12 and the average family size was 2.49.
