After seeing that Bush had won 97 of the 100 fastest growing counties in 2004, I decided to use this link...
https://www.census.gov/data/datasets/time-series/demo/popest/2010s-counties-total.html... to match the fastest growing counties from 2010-2019 with 2016 results. In what might be surprising given our current narrative, Trump won 85 of the 100 fastest growing counties in the nation. Of the top 20, he won 18. Does this surprise anyone? Personally, I think there is ample evidence that newer, faster growing suburbs are inherently more conservative than older suburbs of a more urban character, and exurban areas are actually usually some of the most dynamic and fastest growing communities, so this doesn't seem THAT surprising. Here is the top ten:
1. McKenzie, ND: Trump 78.55%, Clinton 14.94%
2. Loving, TX: Trump 89.23%, Clinton 6.15%
3. Williams, ND: Trump 78.62%, Clinton 13.55%
4. Hays, TX: Trump 46.87%, Clinton 46.04%
5. Wasatch, UT: Trump 50.45%, Clinton 25.27%
6. Comal, TX: Trump 72.59%, Clinton 22.90%
7. Trousdale, TN: Trump 66.55%, Clinton 29.94%
8. Kendall, TX: Trump 78.03%, Kendall 18.11%
9. Sumter, FL: Trump 68.78%, Clinton 29.53%
10. Dallas, IA: Trump 50.56%, Clinton 41.05%
