Buyers continue to flock to Nevada

Is it Vegas? Who knows, but Nevada once again ranks as the fastest-growing state in the country.

This story on the United Press International Web site, quotes U.S. Census data as showing that Nevada’s population climbed 2.9 percent from July 1, 2006, to July 1, 2007. That was the largest population spurt any state saw during this time.

Arizona ranked second in terms of percentage increase.

Michigan and Rhode Island, according to the Census Bureau, were the only states to lose population during this period.
