Towns include: Heath, Rockwall
Job growth (2000-2010): 97.9%

Rockwall County, TX


Rockwall County is rockin' and rollin' at the top of our list for job creation. It may be the Lone Star State's smallest county, but it's one of Texas's fastest growing, with a population that's almost doubled in the last decade.

The county borders Lake Ray Hubbard in the northeast corner of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Development there once centered on homes and recreation, but now Rockwall wants to be a place where its wealthy residents live, play -- and work.

Like many of the counties on our list, Rockwall is luring businesses and jobs from nearby big cities with generous incentives and a higher quality of life. The latest development is Harbor Heights, a seven-story 110,000 square foot office tower slated to open next year. Major corporations like L-3 Communications and Pilgrim's Pride make their home in the Rockwall Technology Park where more companies are expected to join their ranks

You've got to admit that there wasn't much of anything in Rockwall/Heath 10 years ago, so jobs came with the people since there are now lots of people.

Donna, no, there wasn't much back then!  That is what makes our growth so exciting with all of the development they have done around the lake.  It just seems to keep getting better and better.

Carol, it is a mixture of a lot of different factors.  Rockwall is on the outskirts of Dallas and the growth is throughout : restaurants, shopping, new hospital, technology park and the new Harbor District which draws people from all around, just to name a few.  Our population has about tripled during the past 10 years as well.  There are several new devolpments in progress as well.  Our exemplary school district doesn't hurt either.

Diane - It seems like technology companies are moving into your Rockwall, and with the jobs come the homes. Hopefully the trend will continue.

Wow, congrats on your town making the #1 slot for job growth.  I'd imagine that should attract a great amount of interest and maybe boost those home values for you!
