You’ve Never Heard of this Town, But It’s the Fastest Growing in the Country

To determine the fastest-growing large cities across the United States, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed population data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2022 American Community Survey one-year estimates. We listed all 50 metropolitan statistical areas with at least a 10% population growth from 2017 to 2022 in order from smallest to largest growth. Supplemental data on employment in December 2017 and December 2022, as well as unemployment rates, came from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and are seasonally-adjusted figures. Home value data came from the ACS.

People may choose to move to a new city or area for many reasons. But one of the leading reasons is the opportunity to find cheaper housing. Out of the 50 cities on the list, 30 have lower home values than the national median home value in 2022 of $320,900. Although in 37 of the cities, the median home value grew at a faster pace than the national average. Another factor is unemployment and access to jobs. Out of the 49 cities with data, 34 have lower unemployment than the national rate of 3.5%. (You can buy most homes in these 23 cities for under $125,000.)

The cities on the list include some large metropolitan areas such as the Orlando metro area, the Austin metro area, the Raleigh, North Carolina, metro area, and the Jacksonville, Florida metro area. The South has the most cities on the list at 33, including 12 in Florida and four in Alabama. The West region has 10 cities on the list, including four in Idaho. Six of the cities on the list are in the Midwest, and only one is in the Northeast. Now read on to see if you live in any of the fastest-growing cities nationwide.

Why This Matters

Areas with growing populations are likely to have strong job markets and less unemployment. These thriving cities provide better economic stability for residents while their growing infrastructure provides housing, schools, and services. While these cities attract people looking for jobs and business opportunities, the increased population leads to rapid expansion of the area, making them ideal for families and those looking for improved economic opportunities.
