Another "it's Sunday afternoon and I'm bored thread".
For all the metro areas - large ones, with several counties - in your state/ region... what is their fastest growing county, either percent, actual numbers, or both? What is the county like.. highly educated? high income blue collar? etc?
I'll start..
Lexington KY metro area
Percent - Scott Co/ Georgetown +42.7% (33k to 47k)
* is home to a HUGE Toyota assembly plant, btw Lexington & Frankfort the state capitol, know for having a good public school, mod level of education level (26% have a college degree)
Numeric - Fayette Co/ Lexington +35,291 (260k to 295k)
* Central county, home to Univ of KY and many jobs
Louisville KY IN metro area Percent - Spencer Co +45.0% (11k to 17k) * Tiny rural county just east of Louisville. No McDonalds and maybe 4 gas stations. Parts of county are 10 minutes from major job centers in Eastern Louisville
Has low level of college education (16%), mostly high income blue collar workers Numeric - Jefferson Co/ Louisville +47,489 (690k to 741k) * Central county, home to lots of jobs

Mod level of education (26% college degree) Actual - Warren Co OH +54,204 (158k to 212k) * Located right btw Cincinnati and Dayton, high level of education (34% w/ college degree), home to Kings Island
