U.S. Census analysis released this week reveal that four of Charlotte Metro's counties are ranked among America's fastest growing cities, including the largest and most central, Mecklenburg (82nd)!  Union County, including Indian Trail, Matthews, Stallings, Monroe, Weddington and Waxhaw ranked 7th in growth!  

Homes for Sale Charlotte, NCHarrisburg Cabarrus County (home to Lowe's Motor Speedway), including Concord, Kannapolis and Harrisburg ranked 29th among the nation's fastest growing counties.  Lastly, Iredell County (Lake Norman, Mooresville area) ranked 90th.

Union County's growth has propelled property values and has given rise to several new schools, shopping areas, recreation facilities and restaurants to facilitate the large number of newcomers.   School population has increased by 84% necessitating approximately $500 million on school construction.  Union County's appeal to city dwellers' move to the 'country' has flourished into a population of about 185,000 (up about 50% since 2000), with more debt per capita than any large or medium sized county in NC.

The 11-county Charlotte Metro region grew by 79,000 last year!  The population of Mecklenburg County has risen to 867,000, increasing 3.8% last year.  Economic opportunities in the region continue to spawn growth by adding 32,000 in population during 2007.
