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.
Feel Like Idaho has been growing too quickly? Brace yourself, that trend is going to be continuing as Idaho is set to continue to outpace the nation in popular growth.
