The Wilson County city, about 30 miles east of Nashville, grew 8.9% from July 1, 2022, to July 1, 2023.<\/p>\n

The city and county have been a target for both new residents and corporate expansions in recent years. Multiple companies, including Bridgetown Natural Foods LLC<\/a>, Lochinvar LLC<\/a> and REI<\/a> have announced plans to open manufacturing or distribution facilities in the community.<\/p>\n

The state has announced close to 20 economic development projects in the county since 2020, totaling 6,300 jobs and over a billion in investment.<\/p>\n

Lebanon\u2019s leadership is also working to attract restaurants and other amenities. The city recently recruited sit-down restaurant Aubrey\u2019s under a $1.5 million economic development incentive<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The South tops the Census' list of regions with the fastest-growing cities of a population of at least 20,000.<\/p>\n

Cities in the South grew by an average of 1%. Celina, Texas, was the fastest-growing city, with a 26.6% increase.<\/p>\n

\"The population growth across the South in 2023 was driven by significant numeric and percentage gains among its cities,\" said Crystal Delb\u00e9, a statistician in the Census Bureau\u2019s Population Division, in a news release. \"Thirteen of the 15 fastest-growing cities were in the South, with eight in Texas alone.\"<\/p>\n

Metro Nashville gained more than 5,600 residents last year, making Music City the 21st<\/sup> largest city in the country. The city\u2019s population increased 0.83%, to 687,788. Zooming out, Tennessee as a whole grew by 1.1%<\/p>\n

New York City is the most populous city in the country, according to the Census Bureau, with 8.3 million residents.<\/p>\n
