29th Fastest Growing County In the Nation DeSoto County, Mississippi Seat: Hernando DeSoto County is the 29th 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, according to recent U.S. Census Bureau estimates. DeSoto County which was established in 1836, had already grown in population to 107,199 by the year 2000. But in the six years that marked the beginning of the 21st Century, the county increased the number of residents by 35 percent bringing the estimated total population in July 2006 to 144,706. The astounding growth of the last six years has made DeSoto County the fastest growing county in the Magnolia State of Mississippi and the 29th fastest in the nation. It is difficult to determine how the growth may have affected the price of homes in the area but in 2000 the median cost for a home within the 478 square mile jurisdiction of DeSoto County was $103,100. |
