Doral stands out as the fastest growing city in Florida.

 

Coveted in both the residential and commercial sectors, this municipality has been among the most active during this decade.

 

A study by the U.S. Census Bureau, verified by the Metropolitan Center of Florida International University, determined that Doral stands out as the fastest growing city in Florida and number eleven in the entire country. The analysis was based on the speed with which businesses and residential areas have been created.

 

The arrival of people from other countries has visibly impacted Doral, between 2010 and 2016, with a 26.1% increase in its population, which represents about 12,000 people.

 

It is estimated that the factors of the growth are linked to an increase in job opportunities, the low levels of crime, geographic location, quality of schools, and more affordable housing offers.

 

In reports from the City of Doral, this location was added in 2003 to the list of 34 municipalities in Miami-Dade County. At that time, it had 22,709 inhabitants. Currently, the number has increased by more than half, to some 58,000 residents.

 

In the U.S. Census Bureau's report, Miami ranked eighth in terms of growth rate, with a 13.1% increase in its population, as reported by Miami Today.

 

The study also mentions details of the population increase in Miami-Dade County. During the period analyzed, the county's population increased by 8.2%, which is due, first of all, to the arrival of people from other places and, secondly, to the balance of born over dead.

 

West Miami was the second fastest-growing county in Miami-Dade, with 24.6% in this decade. Last year alone, 7,459 new residents were registered in that municipality.

Also, significant population increases have been detected in North Bay Village, Coconut Grove, Brickell, downtown Miami, Homestead, and Cutler Bay.
