We learned Thursday in a U.S. Census Bureau report that Queen Creek was listed as the third fastest-growing community in the nation last year, at plus-8.9%.
Eight of the 15 fastest-growing large cities or towns by percent change were in the West — with five in Arizona — and seven in the South. Casa Grande was the seventh fastest-growing community, at plus 6.2%, and Phoenix was the fifth in total population, at 1.6 million.
The South and West also contained the top 15 cities with the largest numeric gains — 11 in the South and four in the West.
Queen Creek is behind two Texas communities (Georgetown and Leander).
