(NEXSTAR) — Does it feel like your city has gotten bigger in the last few years, or that more out-of-towners have moved in? Depending on where you live, that might be the case.

Personal finance website SmartAsset recently analyzed data from the U.S. Census Bureau to find the fastest-growing cities in the nation. Of the more than 600 cities analyzed based on one- and five-year changes in population, the report found five cities saw their population increase by more than 10% between 2022 and 2023.

Those cities were limited to two states, Maryland and Texas. Of those, only one saw a five-year population increase below 20%: Silver Spring, Maryland.

Located just north of the District of Columbia, Silver Spring's population rose by 12.86% to nearly 85,000 people — the largest one-year growth rate of any of the cities analyzed. Over the previous five years, however, it saw only a modest growth of less than 4%.

During that extended time period, SmartAsset found that Buckeye, Arizona, saw the largest population increase at more than 46%. While large, that's smaller than the growth it reported between 2017 and 2022.
