Florida’s growth is not concentrated in just one destination.
A SmartAsset study ranked 19 Florida cities among the 75 fastest-growing cities in the United States, based on growth in housing units, workforce, and nominal GDP over the past five years.
Palm Coast ranks 6th, while cities such as Tampa, Lakeland, Kissimmee, Orlando, and Jacksonville also appear on the list.
For those considering investing, this data helps provide a broader view of how different regions across Florida are developing. But growth is only one part of the analysis: location, demand, supply, price, and investment goals should also factor into the decision.
