Using data sourced from the Census Bureau’s 2021, 2016, and 2011 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, we identified the fastest growing cities in the U.S. out of 500+ cities whose population is 75,000 or greater. At the same time, we analyzed the change in their household incomes over the last five years, 10 years, and from 2011 to 2016.
