Because of how supply and demand work, one could say that home prices are the best way to judge how great a place is. But money can’t tell you everything about a place, just like happiness can’t. Instead, look at places where people are breaking down doors to live.
These are the U.S. cities that are growing the fastest. It’s best to get these areas of high demand while you still can. To give you an idea, the United States’ population grew by 0.42% each year last year, reaching 331,097,593 people. That’s faster growth than the US rate for any city.
Which American city will grow the fastest in 2024? Take a look at that—the most recent Census data shows that Lewisville is the largest city in the United States that is growing the fastest.

It looks like people have been paying attention to our lists, because many of the best places in each state are in these ten. So maybe that whole thing about house prices and city growth will finally work out, like it did in Lewisville. I guess I should have moved there six years ago instead of Durham.
