Chapel Hill is truly a community. It can be described as family centric. There is a healthy population balance between young and "old," and white-collar, and blue-collar workers. It is a desired destination due to its strong job growth in several industries, including biotech. The rapid population growth continues to drive the demand for infrastructure projects and associated construction and industrial employment opportunities. A strong pool of college graduates from highly regarded public universities, such as UNC and NC State, in adjoining Raleigh, helps backfill the job demand including the service sector. The community emphasizes healthy living, including outdoor activities, and offers an advanced healthcare system. Finally, UNC is the hub of Chapel Hill, and its sports teams engender a great sense of community.
