population

I used to laugh when people would get protective and wish no one knew how special our little corner of the world is. Now I've joined the "oh no, don't tell them about Boise" club, and it's happened again.

Boise is one of the fastest growing cities in America and locals are blaming the boom on California. Are there too many Californians in Boise, Idaho?

The entire Treasure Valley has been in growth mode for the last few years, and the City of Meridian is no exception. It's now become one of the fastest growing cities in the country.

Meridian is one of the fastest growing towns in America, and it's been named the best place to live in Idaho. But what if the population grows by 98 percent in the next 30 years? Can we handle it?

If it feels like there are a few more people in line in the grocery stores and in sitting next to you at stoplights, it's true. Idaho is leading the nation in population growth and shows no signs of stopping.

It's probably no surprise to most of us, given all the construction over the past couple years, but Idaho is growing fast. In fact, faster than any other state this year.

It seems like every new survey released shows that more and more people are choosing to make Idaho home.  That continues to be the case with new census data that has recently been released.

In another eight years or so, Idaho is expected to have a population of about two million people.  See which age group will be behind the big charge.

Meridian is not just the fastest-growing city in the Treasure Valley.  It's one of the fastest-growing spots in the nation.
