However, the United States Census Bureau has designated Five Forks as a census-designated place or a CDP.

Development in Five Forks is a relatively recent event; the area was rural up until the late 1990s. The economic and population growth in Greenville brought commuters to Five Points. Housing was followed by retail shopping, service businesses, restaurants, and entertainment establishments.

Population Growth, Congestion, & Infrastructure

Population growth and all the related issues that come along with population growth have impacted the Five Forks area for the past twenty-five years. From the first census, the 2000 United States Census, up to the most recent census, the 2020 United States Census, the population of Five Forks has more than doubled.

Census Pop. %±

2000 8,064 —

2010 14,140 75.3%

2020 17,737 25.4%

Traffic congestion began to become a major problem in the early 2000s. Funding for road improvements was slow to materialize. However, road improvements and upgrades began to take hold in the 2010s. A current major roadwork project is the Woodruff Road Congestion Relief Project.

Other infrastructure items such as schools struggled to keep up with the population growth. Brand new schools would open and would immediately be filled to capacity. The very next year, the same school would have twice the number of students ready to enroll.

As a result of public outcries, the Greenville County Commission has greatly addressed these infrastructure concerns. Roads and schools seem to be keeping up with the population growth. The State of South Carolina is keeping up with population growth as well.
