Five Arizona cities and towns are among the fastest growing in the nation, new population estimates released by the U.S. Census Bureau show.
Queen Creek, Buckeye, Casa Grande, Maricopa and Goodyear were all among the top 15 cities with at least 50,000 people with the largest percentage population growth between July 1, 2020, and July 1, 2021.
Arizona has more cities among the top 15 fastest growing than any other state, but the Texas cities of Georgetown and Leander lead the list.
Queen Creek, whose population grew by 8.9% and Buckeye, whose population grew by 8.6% were the third and fourth fastest-growing large cities in the nation.
