based on rate of growth between January 2000 and July 2006 for
all counties that began the century with more than ten

beginning of the 21st Century, the county increased the number
of residents by 25.8 percent bringing the estimated total

The median property values for homes located within the 285
square mile jurisdiction of Scott County were $107,900 in 2000
but the Bureau had no statistics on home value for 2006.
Determining how the rapid growth may have affected the value
of homes in the area is difficult but the current auctions
that follow should give some indication of the bargains still
available. |
