Which cities in the western United States are experiencing explosive rise? According to the census data from 2014 to 2022, several cities have performed particularly well:

**Fastest growing population**: Herriman, Utah (54.8%), Buckeye, Arizona (42.2%), Bozeman, Montana (26.9%)

**Fastest Income Rise**: Bozeman, Montana (+41.5%), Meridian, Idaho (+40%), Bend, Oregon (+39.6%)

**Housing demand at its peak**: Homeownership in Herriman, Utah has risen by 63.5%, and in Baki by 57.3%—the real estate markets in these two areas are clearly in short supply.

**Per Capita Income Ceiling**: Raymond, Washington leads with $82,565, significantly higher than the national average.

Data shows that these cities share common characteristics: a surge in population, a rise in income, and a hot real estate market. If you are considering investing or relocating, these places are worth paying attention to—but it also means that housing prices and living costs may be rising rapidly.
