Fastest Growing States in 2009: Texas, Wyoming

Everything really is bigger in Texas, including population growth. According to the U.S .Census Bureau, Texas gained more people than any other state between July 1, 2008, and July 1, 2009 (478,000), followed by California (381,000), and North Carolina (134,000).

Census Bureau Director Robert Groves said, "This is the final set of Census Bureau state population estimates that will be published before the official 2010 Census population counts to be released next December."

In addition to a temperate climate, Texas is filled with some of the most livable cities in America including:

Boerne, TX
El Campo, TX
Harlingen, TX
McAllen, TX
Mission, TX
San Angelo, TX
San Marcos, TX
Tyler, TX
Victoria, TX

Wyoming led the pack of fastest growing states by percentage, followed by Utah and Colorado.

Wyoming's population climbed 2.12 percent to 544,270. The growth may have been fueled in part by some of the most picturesque scenery and low cost of living.
