Naples Named #1 Boomtown in USA
Just Another Good Reason to Live Here
GoBankingRates.com put Naples on the top of their list of U.S. boomtowns. That sounds nice…. but what exactly is a “boomtown?”
To determine each town’s boomtown rating, the site looked at areas with a population under 500,000 that had high growth in population, housing units and per capita income from 2012 to 2017. They used those factors to rank the cities as to their overall boomtown status and Naples landed at the top of the list. Here’s what they found:
# 1 – Naples, Florida
- Income increase: 22.8%
- Population increase: 6.8%
- Housing increase: 3.8%
- GDP increase: 34%
Naples made the top five on the list for highest gross domestic product increase, by percentage — realizing a five-year change of $4,624. Plus, the city barely landed outside the top five for the percentage increase in income. Although the city was below average for the list regarding housing and population increases, it wasn’t by much — less than 1 percentage point each.
