Is this really hard to believe? With the convenient access to a thriving metropolitan area like Charlotte without the high taxes and crime rates that accompany it, Fort Mill and Tega Cay are great places to live.
On top of all that, the York County school district is one of the best in the area. Thanks to the taxes the county collects from Duke Power, the schools are able to hire the best teachers and provide the best education from their students.
And we haven’t even talked about the nice people that make up York County, Fort Mill, and Tega Cay. They are always polite and greet you with a big smile.
I love living here in Fort Mill. I am not surprised so many people are finding out that this really is a great place to live.

To tell you the truth I was expecting a faster growth in Washington D.C. area, but it seems to me that our population is becoming older and Florida soon will be over populated.
June 25th, 2010 at 2:31 am
I think that this map might be wrong because it is showing that New York has less population than Florida, I don’t think this is right.

I wasn’t expecting to see in the list with fastest-growing metro area a few cities from Utah, I wonder why are they growing.
July 5th, 2010 at 2:21 am
WOW, I am amazed I live in one of the fastest growing area Myrtle Beach-North Myrtle Beach-Conway, SC.
July 7th, 2010 at 3:22 am
I didn’t expect that rural areas are fast growing, I thought everyone is trying to move closer to the city.
July 9th, 2010 at 1:47 am
I am very glad to hear that NY is not listed among the fastest growing areas, and I hope that some day the number of population in here will decrease.

So I guess soon new megalopolises will appear in US, and who know in a hundred of years, maybe Washington won’t be the Capital.
July 20th, 2010 at 7:11 am
Well a climb of 3.4 percent per year that’s pretty impressive, I only hope that our city won’t be full of illegal mexican migrants.

It is very interesting how nowadays population is moving from megalopolises to other cities with a cheaper real estate

Till now the process of urbanization was very developed, but from what I see the other process have just started, I wonder will USA change its capital.
