One of the fastest growing cities in the U.S. is in Minnesota
Just one Midwestern city sits among the 15 that grew the fastest from July 2023 to July 2024, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's Vintage 2024 estimates, which were released on Thursday.
The list of 15, which was limited to cities and towns with populations of 20,000 or more, is almost exclusively southern towns, continuing a recent trend. Yet, nestled into ninth place is the south metro suburb of Rosemount.
Rosemount grew 10.6% year-over-year, according to the Census Bureau, rising to a population of 30,581.
The home of Leprechaun Days is joined by seven cities from Texas and two each from Florida and North Carolina, as well as representatives from Alabama, Georgia, and Colorado.
