This Colorado town is one of the fastest-growing wealthy suburbs in America
DENVER (KDVR) — Colorado is home to one of the fastest-growing wealthy suburbs in America, according to a recent study analyzing population change.
To determine the fastest-growing American suburbs, personal finance website GoBankingRates used data from the U.S. Census American Community Survey to identify all U.S. suburbs with 25,000-100,000 people and median incomes of $150,000 or higher. Researchers then used U.S. Census data to see each city’s change in population from 2018 to 2023.

According to the study, the population in Erie grew 39.02% from 2018-2023, which is more than double the growth seen in most of the following cities on the list. Meanwhile, the No. 3 city on the list saw more than double the growth that Erie saw.
