19 Washington County UT
19th Fastest Growing County In the Nation
Washington County, Utah
Seat: St. George

According to U.S. Census Bureau estimates Washington County is the 19th 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 inhabitants.

The newest town in the nineteenth fastest growing is Apple Valley. The village was only incorporated in 2004 and is isolated in a small valley on the Little Plains about 12 miles East of Hurricane. The scenery is impressive with Zion National Park in the background and Mount Smithsonian, Canaan Mountain and Little Creek Mesa framing the area. Due to the higher elevation, the temperature in Apple Valley is about 10 degrees cooler than Hurricane and St. George year round. In 2004, Apple Valley had about 200 homes and was growing at about 10 new homes per year. Washington County is part of the St. George, Utah Metropolitan Statistical Area.

Washington County which was established in 1852, had already grown in population to 90,354 by the year 2000. But in the six years that marked the beginning of the 21 Century, the county increased the number of residents by 39.8 percent bringing the estimated total population in July 2006 to 126,312.

The astounding growth of the last six years has made Washington County the number 1 fastest growing county in the Beehive State of Utah and the 19th fastest in the nation.

It is difficult  to determine how the growth may have affected the price of homes in the area but in the year 2000 the median cost for a home within the 2,427 square mile jurisdiction was $139,800.
