100 fastest growing counties (in the U.S.)

I'd like to see a correlation between the counties with the strongest economies and the per capita taxes in those counties.


Wanna bet it's inversely proportional?

Since 2001, if redistricting was done today 3 congressional seats would be taken away from blue states, and given to red states.

By the end of the decade that will be 8-10 seats. People are 'voting with their feet'.. and leaving the no-growther, unionized blue states, and heading for the opportunity of red America.

Placer County, CA- the most republican county in California.
Let's hope the "rats" don't move in on us!

I'm in Sun City/Menifee--there are 10,000 homes under construction within five miles of my home.

I count 13 from Texas.

And none of them appear to be near the border, which is interesting.

[claudiustg]

I count NONE from Montana! :^)

That's it exactly. Coloradoans are already complaining that they're being overloaded with a ton of far-leftie Californians who are moving there to escape the smog and crime that their own political policies have helped to create. They'll simply bring their idiotic trash with them. Sigh... is it too late for fences around the blue areas?

LOL, I saw this when it was posted. I know about Loudoun, Stafford, Spotsy, and Prince William....I can't even afford a dumpster here, that's why I'm moving on.

What I see is people fleeing multicultural urban centers.

I saw this list at a political meeting. Almost all of these counties are exurbs, and only two of them went for Kerry. Forgot the two.

Those areas must be insanely building up. I live in the fastest growing county in Michigan(12%), and it didn't make the list, and it's booming here.

[sissyjane]

I'm in Tuolumne county, and I'm glad the flat-landers are moving your way and not mine...LOL!!!

[poobear]

Don't get me started Huck, I've watched these blue stater's move here by the droves over the decades. (Florida) They're the ones that keep us in the news.

Every single one of those Virginia counties except for Fluvanna are getting the expansion from the Washington metropolitan area. Loudoun is about, oh, 30-40 miles west of DC along Highway 7 and has been the crazy growth spot up there for some time now. Prince William, Stafford and Spotsylvania are down the I-95 corridor from DC to Fredericksburg, a good 55 miles south of the District.

The only Virginia county on there that's not around DC is Fluvanna...that one I don't get, since it's kind of out in the middle of nowhere. Expansion from Charlottesville, maybe?

I'm surprised at some counties that aren't on that list...Henrico or Goochland, Virginia (western suburbs of Richmond), and Lexington, South Carolina (western suburbs of Columbia). Real estate values out here in western Henrico/eastern Goochland have gone insane with all the economic expansion in the far western suburbs of Richmond.

"is it too late for fences around the blue areas?"

People fleeing the blue states should be forced to take a socialist lie detector test before they are allowed to become red state residents.

If they fail they can go through shock therapy to cure them though.

D.C. Area Continues Strong Growth

[Mortikhi]

i live in 1 of those places. =)

[whereasandsoforth]

Three of the Texas counties are part of the Dallas metropolitan area. I hate to hear this.

[princess leah]

What happened to Maricopa County, Arizona? I cannot believe with all the growth and out the door housing that we're not on this list!
