The U.S. Census Bureau will hold a news conference to
release its new county population estimates, showing that Flagler
County, Fla., was the fastest-growing county in the nation last year.
Neighboring St. Johns County, home to America’s oldest city
(St. Augustine), was also ranked among the top ten fastest-growing
counties. Florida contains more of the 100 fastest-growing counties
than any other state. The estimates rank the 3,141 counties (and county
equivalents) by their population change between July 1, 2003, and
July 1, 2004. |
