CALIFORNIA BUSINESS MINUTE
Fastest Growing Cities
07-11-08
Hi, I am Tim Johnson and welcome to the California Business Minute.
The US Census Bureau released a report on the fastest growing cities in the nation
from 2006-2007.
California and Texas dominate the fastest growing cities, both in the recent annual
data and in the data from 2000 through 2007. California and Texas each placed five
cities on the list of the 25 fastest-growing cities between 2006 and 2007, as well as
on the list of the 25 biggest numerical gainers for the period.
The Census Bureau identified that the second fastest growing city in the nation was
Victorville, whose population climbed 9.5% to 107,221. Victorville's population passed
the 100,000 mark for the first time in 2007.
Other fastest growing California cities include Bakersfield, Elk Grove and Roseville.
Cleveland suffered the largest numerical decline in population from 2006 to 2007, followed
by Columbus, Ga.; Baton Rouge, La.; Philadelphia, Pa.; and Baltimore, Md.
I am Tim Johnson and this has been the California Business Minute.
