The Albemarle County Community Profile began in 2003 as a project commissioned by the County Executive Office.  The purpose of the Community Profile is to establish a source of data that will help inform discussions of current policy issues and trends in the county.  The Community Profile is organized by the five strategic goals of the Albemarle County Strategic Plan:

• Enhance the quality of life;
• Protect the County’s natural resources;
• Develop policies and infrastructure improvements to address the County’s growing needs;
• Effectively manage the County’s growth and development; and
• Fund the County’s future needs.

The 2008 Albemarle County Community Profile updates much of the information that has changed in the past several years, and includes new information that the County Executive Office believes will be useful to the Board of Supervisors, County staff, and the community at large.  The following pages highlight several interesting facts about Albemarle County.
