Oconee County grew at nearly three times the rate of the state as a whole from 2010 to 2020, and it became more diverse in the process, according to data released late on Thursday by the U.S. Census Bureau.
The data are at the Census Block level, as is required for redistricting, but they also provide the first look at how larger units such as counties have changed.
Oconee County’s 2020 population was 41,799, up from 32,808 in 2010. That is a growth of 27.4 percent.
