Growing fast
The Census has released its latest list of America's fastest-growing cities and of course, a Florida city tops the list again. But now the focus has moved to the east coast: for years the fastest-growing city was on the west coast, places like Naples or Fort Myers. This year, the dubious honor goes to Port St. Lucie, where the population increased 12 percent between July 1, 2003 and July 1, 2004. Also on the top 10 list: Miramar, in Broward County, and Cape Coral (which is on the west coast). The full list of the 25 cities is available at the Census site, in spreadsheet format. posted by liz at 12:16 PM
