Have you ever wondered which town is growing the fastest? It just so happens that GoBankingRates.com compiled data to find the answer to this burning question.

The source looked at the one, five, and eight-year changes in housing and population.

The source focused on cities with a population of more than 25,000 but less than 500,00.

Results of the Study

I'm sure there's more than one town in North Dakota that is growing rapidly, but which is the fastest?

Hmm...

When the oil boom hit, Dickinson, North Dakota really took off, but is it still the fastest-growing town?

The 2023 data collected by the source found that the fastest-growing town is none other than West Fargo.

Are you surprised by this result?
