30th Fastest Growing County In the Nation
Denton County, Texas
Seat: Denton

Denton County is the 30th 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, according to recent U.S. Census Bureau estimates.


Denton County which was established in 1846, had already grown in population to 432,966 by the year 2000. But in the six years that marked the beginning of the 21st Century, the county increased the number of inhabitants by 34.9 percent bringing the estimated total population in July 2006 to 584,238.

The astounding growth of the last six years has made Denton County the number 6 fastest growing county in the Lone Star State of Texas and the 30th 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 888 square mile jurisdiction of Denton County was $133,200.
