Rutherford now state's fastest-growing county (Murfreesboro: quality of life, housing, suburbs)

[kamoshika]

Two of Nashville's suburban counties keep jockeying for the title of fastest-growing, a trend analysts say bucks the rest of the nation but means government must work to keep up with the influx.

...Rutherford County's 2007 population stands at 241,462 — a 25.73 percent increase from 2000. Williamson County's population jumped 24.82 percent to 166,128 during the same period of time.

Newcomers echo each other on reasons for moves to Nashville's suburbs: quick trips to the city, cheaper housing than coastal areas, a better climate than in northern states and overall quality of life.

I would have thought it was Wilson County.

Williamson County is the fastest growing county in Tennessee, while Murfreesboro is the fastest growing major city in Tennessee.
