Other Services
Insight: Approximately 58% of adults in Fuquay-Varina have some type of college degree: Associate Degree, Bachelor Degree, or Graduate Degree. Residents work in a wide variety of disciplines, but the majority are employed in professional, scientific, management, administrative, and waste management services (21.5%) or education, health care, and social assistance services (18.2%). School enrollment figures indicate families with young children place the highest demands on pre-school, elementary school, and middle school facilities at this time, which is indicative of a community experiencing several recent housing booms led by large, single-family detached homes.

Tenure By Year Housing Built
Insight: Most of the homes in Fuquay-Varina were built in the last four decades, 1980 to 2021, and represent continued, steady development trends in the community. A spike between 2000 and 2009 significantly increased the Town’s housing stock. The statistic reported for 2014 or later ― the brown bar in the graphic ― supports the likelihood of another spike in new home construction (and likely a new record) if the data for eight years in this column was extrapolated for twenty years like the other columns.
