Rutherford now state's fastest-growing county
Two of Nashville's suburban counties keep jockeying for the title of fastest-growing, a trend analysts say bucks the rest of the nation but means government must work to keep up with the influx.
...Rutherford County's 2007 population stands at 241,462 — a 25.73 percent increase from 2000. Williamson County's population jumped 24.82 percent to 166,128 during the same period of time.
Newcomers echo each other on reasons for moves to Nashville's suburbs: quick trips to the city, cheaper housing than coastal areas, a better climate than in northern states and overall quality of life.
