America's 100 Fastest-Growing suburbs: 2000-2006

[Jaggerjack]

Anyways, I'm actually suprised about Dublin. Hell, I thought Alameda County (where I live) has gotten too expensive for fast growth.

And where the hell's Tracy? (38% growth from 2000-2006)

All seven of the IL communities listed in the top 100 here are in the SW suburbs (Will, Kendall, Kane Cos.) They are the natural expansion of residences for the jobs in the SW communities of Aurora, Naperville, Downers Grove and Oak Brook (and others primarily in Du Page Co.) where housing has become too expensive.

But for these towns to be among the 100 fastest growing in the nation, there must be other factors at play. There must be very low unemployment or some type of industry there that is doing well.

DuPage seems similar to Nassau County, NY. It has a small land area, is densely populated (by suburban standards), its an inner suburb that has no room left to expand, and is trending Democrat.

Dupage is getting a bit closer to Nassau County, but not quite there yet.  It is trending Democratic, but not quite as Dem as Nassau.    It is also still growing a bit where as Nassau's population is stable.  The population density while large is nowhere near Nassau County.  Dupage is 57 sq miles larger, with a population about 400,000 less than Nassau.  The population density about 1,900 per sq mile less than Nassau (2,770 per sq mi in Dupage to 4,665 per sq mi  in Nassau)

When the inevitable collapse of suburbia into slums happens I'll try to look surprised.

San Joaquin Valley, between and west of Stockton and Modesto.

I know the location (having been there a dozen times), but where is it on the table?

Probably not in an MSA.

Really? I thought San Joaquin County was the "Stockton" MSA

Well, there's another one of them that voted Democratic (though by only 50.7-48.5)

Southaven is such a craphole! Plus, it's right next to a really bad part of Memphis, thereby defeating the entire purpose of living in the suburbs. It's definately going to be a ghetto in 20 years.

Currently has lower than average crime.

Come on, they can't keep out the crime of Memphis forever.
