Growth Spurt Still Growing
New census figures show the population shift to NWA continues.
The new numbers, which were released Thursday, show that Bentonville has seen a 41 percent increase in population growth since 2000. In addition, Springdale is now the sixth largest city in the state with almost 56,000 people living there -- a number that's up 22 percent since the last census.
Fort Smith, by contrast, had only an 2% increase in the same period.
Jeez, no wonder we're having such a hard time finding a decent, affordable house in B-ville.
