I've lived on Ocracoke Island on and off over the last decade when not living in Ottawa, Canada, and moved down to live here full time to write as of January 2005.
[edit] Discussing "humans"
Perhaps I'm a bit sensitive to this, but in common parlance, "populations" usually implies humanity, unless there's a reason for saying otherwise.
For example, we might discuss a Panda population, but it would usually only be in the context of a paucity of Pandas (or conversely, a large population of a certain animal).
Inserting "human" in the discussion of population sounds awkward. And in the context of a racial/ethnic discussion, it seems obviously redundant.

In addition, the island that makes up the Bogue Banks (includes the town of Emerald Isle) is part of the Outer Banks and IS inhabited.-JB
