Delaware County Named 13th Fastest Growing in Nation

March 24th, 2007 · 1 Comment

The U.S. Census Bureau has released the fastest growing counties in the nation.

We’ve been among the nation’s fastest growing counties since the turn-of-the decade.

The County’s overall growth as a percentage is 13th in the nation, we’ve grown 42.5 percent from 2000. With counties with a 2006 population of 150,000+ our growth would be sixth in the nation.

Delaware ranks 89th in total population growth adding 46,708 residents from 2000-2006 to end with 156,697.

This growth around Columbus is made even more impressive when compared to a couple of our Midwest counterparts. Cook County, Ill. (Chicago) lost 88,000 residents, however Kendall County, Ill. (Aurora/Joliet) has gained 61.7% and is the second-largest growth in the nation. 

While, Wayne County, Mich. (Detroit/Dearborn) lost 89,000 residents from 2000 through 2006.

Hard to believe that Maricopa, Ariz. gained 695,784 residents over the past six years and 3,000,000 residents since 1970.
