33-499: Fearrington Village is a residential development and census-designated place (CDP) in Chatham County , North Carolina , United States. The population was 2,339 at the 2010 census , up from 903 in 2000 . The 2020 census counted 2,557 residents. Its name is phonetically pronounced FAIR-ington, not FEAR-ington as the spelling might indicate. The CDP occupies what was formerly the area of the unincorporated community of Farrington . It

66-566: A herd-book for polled cattle. A separate Galloway herd-book was established in 1878. In 1921 a group of breeders set up the Dun and Belted Galloway Association, which – as the name suggests – registered both belted and dun-coloured animals; its first herd-book was published in 1922. In 1951 registration of non-belted dun cattle was discontinued, and the society changed its name to the Belted Galloway Society. It also maintains herd-books for

99-421: A CDP have no legal status and may not always correspond with the local understanding of the area or community with the same name. However, criteria established for the 2010 census require that a CDP name "be one that is recognized and used in daily communication by the residents of the community" (not "a name developed solely for planning or other purposes") and recommend that a CDP's boundaries be mapped based on

132-565: A broader group of traditional Scottish cattle including the Aberdeen Angus and Highland breeds. The Galloway is most often black, but other colours occur; the white-belted or white-middled Galloway was one of them. The origin of the white belt is unknown; it is thought to have resulted from some cross-breeding with the Dutch Lakenvelder in the seventeenth century. From 1852, both Aberdeen Angus and Galloways could be registered in

165-578: A herd of these cattle. The Belted Galloway is well adapted to harsh climatic conditions, hill terrain and rough grazing on coarse grasses; it is normal for the cattle to be kept out throughout the winter, regardless of the weather. The Belted Galloway is reared mainly for beef; it may also be used for vegetation management , otherwise known as conservation grazing. Cattle reared on forage alone may take up to four years to be ready for slaughter; beef from such cattle may have higher-than-usual levels of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids . An old strain

198-455: A population of at least 10,000. For the 1970 Census , the population threshold for "unincorporated places" in urbanized areas was reduced to 5,000. For the 1980 Census , the designation was changed to "census designated places" and the designation was made available for places inside urbanized areas in New England. For the 1990 Census , the population threshold for CDPs in urbanized areas

231-516: Is a mixed-use community located on farmland dating back to the 18th century in Pittsboro , North Carolina . The community is located about 15 minutes from Chapel Hill , a half-hour from Durham and 45 minutes from Raleigh . Fearrington Village is located in northeastern Chatham County. U.S. Routes 15 and 501 form the northwestern edge of the community, leading north 8 miles (13 km) to Chapel Hill and south 8 miles (13 km) to Pittsboro ,

264-450: Is a traditional Scottish breed of beef cattle . It derives from the Galloway stock of the Galloway region of south-western Scotland , and was established as a separate breed in 1921. It is adapted to living on the poor upland pastures and windswept moorlands of the region. The exact origin of the breed is unclear, although the white belt for which they are named, and which distinguishes

297-643: The 1890 Census , in which the Census mixed unincorporated places with incorporated places in its products with "town" or "village" as its label. This made it confusing to determine which of the "towns" were or were not incorporated. The 1900 through 1930 Censuses did not report data for unincorporated places. For the 1940 Census , the Census Bureau compiled a separate report of unofficial, unincorporated communities of 500 or more people. The Census Bureau officially defined this category as "unincorporated places" in

330-455: The 1950 Census and used that term through the 1970 Census. For the 1950 Census, these types of places were identified only outside " urbanized areas ". In 1960 , the Census Bureau also identified unincorporated places inside urbanized areas (except in New England , whose political geography is based on the New England town , and is distinctly different from other areas of the U.S.), but with

363-519: The Mexico–United States border , and unincorporated resort and retirement communities and their environs. The boundaries of any CDP may change from decade to decade, and the Census Bureau may de-establish a CDP after a period of study, then re-establish it some decades later. Most unincorporated areas within the United States are not and have not been included in any CDP. The boundaries of

396-460: The CDP was $ 66,198, and the median income for a family was $ 68,281. Males had a median income of $ 55,278 versus $ 28,068 for females. The per capita income for the CDP was $ 41,000. About 3.8% of families and 6.8% of the population were below the poverty line , including 9.3% of those under age 18 and 1.9% of those age 65 or over. The community began in 1974 when R.B. Fitch and his late wife Jenny purchased

429-434: The CDP. The population density was 391.9 inhabitants per square mile (151.3/km). There were 533 housing units at an average density of 231.3 per square mile (89.3/km). The racial makeup of the CDP was 96.79% White , 2.99% African American , 0.11% Pacific Islander , and 0.11% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 0.22% of the population. There were 506 households, out of which 2.4% had children under

462-417: The Census Bureau considers some towns in New England states, New Jersey and New York as well as townships in some other states as MCDs, even though they are incorporated municipalities in those states. In such states, CDPs may be defined within such towns or spanning the boundaries of multiple towns. There are a number of reasons for the CDP designation: Belted Galloway The Belted Galloway

495-597: The Chatham County seat. According to the United States Census Bureau , the CDP has a total area of 1.8 square miles (4.6 km), of which 0.004 square miles (0.01 km), or 0.32%, is water. As of the 2020 United States census , there were 2,557 people, 1,663 households, and 787 families residing in the CDP. As of the census of 2010, there were 2,339 people. As of the census of 2000, there were 903 people, 506 households, and 357 families residing in

528-477: The Fearrington Village Center after those hamlets long before the term "mixed-use community" had been popularized. Over the last 30 years the community has grown to include over 1800 residents, a country inn and restaurant (The Fearrington House), a cafe & bar, various shops, and artist studios. The Fearrington House Country Inn is one of only two AAA five-diamond facilities in the state, earning

561-606: The Five Diamond designation 15 years in a row, more times than any other accommodation in the Carolinas. The Inn is also North Carolina's only five-star hotel, according to Mobil Travel Guide's annual rankings. Belted Galloway cows, the village's iconic mascot, were added to the farm in 1983. Census-designated place CDPs have been used in each decennial census since 1980 as the counterparts of incorporated places , such as self-governing cities , towns , and villages , for

594-734: The Red Galloway and the White Galloway. In the twentieth century the Belted Galloway was exported to many countries including Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand and the United States. Breed societies were started in New Zealand in 1948, in the United States in 1951, and in Australia in 1975. Like other breeds, the Belted Galloway suffered heavily during

627-532: The United Kingdom. In 2022 it was listed by the American Livestock Conservancy as "watch"; in 2015 the total number in the United States was reported to be 1468 . The cattle are always belted, with a broad white belt completely encircling the body between the shoulder and the hind legs. For bulls, no white is permitted anywhere else on the animal; cows with some limited white markings on

660-488: The age of 18 living with them, 67.0% were married couples living together, 3.2% had a female householder with no husband present, and 29.4% were non-families. 27.9% of all households were made up of individuals, and 20.9% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 1.78 and the average family size was 2.08. A 2018 analysis by the National Center for Health Statistics found that

693-484: The boundaries for CDPs. The PSAP was to be offered to county and municipal planning agencies during 2008. The boundaries of such places may be defined in cooperation with local or tribal officials, but are not fixed, and do not affect the status of local government or incorporation; the territories thus defined are strictly statistical entities. CDP boundaries may change from one census to the next to reflect changes in settlement patterns. Further, as statistical entities,

726-419: The boundaries of the CDP may not correspond with local understanding of the area with the same name. Recognized communities may be divided into two or more CDPs while on the other hand, two or more communities may be combined into one CDP. A CDP may also cover the unincorporated part of a named community, where the rest lies within an incorporated place. By defining an area as a CDP, that locality then appears in

759-430: The breed from black Galloway cattle, is often surmised to be the result of cross-breeding with the similarly coloured Dutch Lakenvelder . The cattle are reared principally for beef ; they may also be kept for ornament or for conservation grazing (vegetation management). The Belted Galloway derives from the traditional Galloway stock of the Galloway region of south-western Scotland , which in turn form part of

792-495: The cattle do not need to develop thick subcutaneous fat for warmth in winter, and the meat tends to leanness as a result. Body weights may depend on both on climatic conditions and on the type of forage available. They are usually in the range 450–600 kg for cows, and 750–1000 kg for bulls. Belted Galloways are generally of a quiet temperament, but cows have a strong maternal instinct and protect calves against perceived threats. At least one person has been trampled by

825-606: The epidemic of foot-and-mouth disease in the British Isles in 2001 , and a substantial part of the total population was lost. By 2007, numbers had recovered to the point where it could be removed from the endangered native breed watchlist of the Rare Breeds Survival Trust ; in the same year the global breed population was listed by the FAO as "not at risk". In 2012, there were approximately 3500 registered breeding cows in

858-788: The geographic extent associated with inhabitants' regular use of the named place. There is no provision, however, that this name recognition be unanimous for all residents, or that all residents use the community for which the CDP is named for services provided therein. There is no mandatory correlation between CDP names or boundaries and those established for other human purposes, such as post office names or zones, political precincts, or school districts. The Census Bureau states that census-designated places are not considered incorporated places and that it includes only census-designated places in its city population list for Hawaii because that state has no incorporated cities. In addition, census city lists from 2007 included Arlington County, Virginia 's CDP in

891-463: The life expectancy in Fearrington is 97 years old. In the CDP, the population was spread out, with 2.1% under the age of 18, 0.8% from 18 to 24, 5.6% from 25 to 44, 19.6% from 45 to 64, and 71.9% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 70 years. For every 100 females, there were 79.2 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 77.9 males. The median income for a household in

924-543: The list with the incorporated places, but since 2010, only the Urban Honolulu CDP, Hawaii, representing the historic core of Honolulu, Hawaii , is shown in the city and town estimates. The Census Bureau reported data for some unincorporated places as early as the first census in 1790 (for example, Louisville, Kentucky , which was not legally incorporated in Kentucky until 1828), though usage continued to develop through

957-504: The lower legs can be registered in an appendix of the herd-book. The rest of the coat is normally black, but can also be dun or – more rarely – red. The dun colour is caused by a mutation in the PMEL gene, the same mutation that causes dun and silver dun in Highland cattle. The coat is double: a long coarse outer coat gives protection from rain, and a fine soft undercoat keeps the animal warm;

990-412: The purposes of gathering and correlating statistical data. CDPs are populated areas that generally include one officially designated but currently unincorporated community, for which the CDP is named, plus surrounding inhabited countryside of varying dimensions and, occasionally, other, smaller unincorporated communities as well. CDPs include small rural communities, edge cities , colonias located along

1023-457: The same category of census data as incorporated places. This distinguishes CDPs from other census classifications, such as minor civil divisions (MCDs), which are in a separate category. The population and demographics of the CDP are included in the data of county subdivisions containing the CDP. Generally, a CDP shall not be defined within the boundaries of what the Census Bureau regards to be an incorporated city, village or borough. However,

1056-442: The two-century old dairy farm from Jesse Fearrington. He had inherited the 640 acre property, originally purchased for 100 shillings in 1786 from John Oldham by his great-great-great grandfather, William Cole. Located midway between Chapel Hill and Pittsboro along U.S. 15-501 in Chatham County, Fearrington currently occupies about 1,200 acres (4.9 km). The Fitches aimed to recreate the smaller villages of England and modeled

From 1950 through 1990, the Census Bureau specified other population requirements for unincorporated places or CDPs in Alaska , Puerto Rico , island areas, and Native American reservations . Minimum population criteria for CDPs were dropped with the 2000 Census .
