18 Spencer County KY
18th Fastest Growing County In the Nation
Spencer County, Kentucky
Seat: Taylorsville

According to U.S. Census Bureau estimates Spencer County is the 18th fastest growing county in America based on percent of growth between January 2000 and July 2006 for all counties that began the period with more than ten thousand residents.

Spencer County is home to Taylorsville Lake, which serves as a major economic resource for the area, as well as a popular fishing area. Spencer is a dry county, where the sale of alcoholic beverages is prohibited. From 2000 to 2005 Spencer County ranked 19th out of all U.S. counties in percent growth with a 33% increase.

Until the early 2000s, there were only two public schools in the district, the elementary school (educating grades K-6) and the high school (educating grades 7-12). In 2000, a new elementary school was built, and the district split into a three-school system. Due to the fast growth of the county, a new middle school

Spencer County which was founded in 1824, had already grown in population to 11,766 by the year 2000. But in the six years that marked the beginning of the 21 Century, the county increased the number of inhabitants by 40 percent bringing the estimated total population in July 2006 to 16,475.

The astounding growth of the last six years has made Spencer County the number 1 fastest growing county in the Bluegrass State of Kentucky and the 18th fastest in the nation.

Although no figures are available to determine how the growth may have affected the price of homes in the area, in the year 2000 the median cost for a home within the 186 square mile jurisdiction was $122,400.
