Figure 2: County Population Growth (1990 – 2000) Goochland County Source: Virginia Employment Commission Income Goochland County’s per capita income has been above both the Commonwealth of Virginia and the United States for the last few decades. Table 2 shows the data on per capita income from 1990-1999. The disparity between the three groups has widened recently. In 1990, there was a 13% difference between Goochland County and Virginia per capita income. By 1999, that difference had grown to 15%. The gap has widened further between Goochland and the United States. In 1990 the difference was 19% and in 1999 the difference had grown to 20%. “This gap in per capita income can be reflected in the percentage of state and federal funding that Goochland County receives on school and transportation projects relative to a jurisdiction that has a lower per capita income” (Goochland, 2003: A-6).

The median income of Goochland County (Table 3) compared to other localities in Central Virginia shows similar results to the per capita income in terms of ranking for financial assistance on community facilities and infrastructure projects. As of 1998, Goochland ranked 16th highest in the Commonwealth for median household income compared to 18th for Powhatan County, 12th for Hanover County, and 26th for Henrico County. The difference between Goochland County and Virginia and between Goochland and the United States in 1998 was 27% and 39%, respectively. Table 3: Median Household Income in Central Virginia: 1994-1996 Source: Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service, UVA Employment Goochland County has experienced significant growth in employment over the past ten years. From 1990 to 1999, non-farm employment has increased from 4,924 to 8,739, almost 80% (Table 4). The relocation of Capital One and other employers to the West Creek complex has added another 6,000 jobs since its completion (see Table 6). The majority of employment in Goochland County has been in the service industry and in state and local government. These two industries account for nearly 45% of all employment. Another telling statistic is that construction ranks a close third to state and local government employment and has increased 133%, 177%, and 42% over the past three decades, respectively. These increases indicate that new growth is a major factor in the county and looks to remain so for years. The economic conditions of the past few years have been favorable in terms of providing additional employment in Goochland County. Unemployment rates have been below three percent for the past six years and below two percent the last two years. A Master Plan for Courthouse Village Page 6 of 96 Spring, 2006 Goochland County
