THE CAPITOL

The Austin metropolitan area, which includes five counties, has about 1.5 million residents, a population larger than 11 individual states, including the Dakotas, New Hampshire and Hawaii. Among those five counties - Travis, Williamson, Hays, Bastrop and Caldwell - three rank with the fastest growing in the nation.

Since 2000, Williamson to the north has ranked among the 20 fastest growing counties in the country. Hays to the south has ranked among the Top 30. Bastrop to the southeast has been among the Top 60. Overall, the Austin metro area has grown about 17 percent since 2000 and is expected to grow another 13 percent by 2011.

Austin's residents are regarded nationally as young, creative, highly educated, thoroughly wired, independent and entrepreneurial. The city routinely ranks highly in surveys of "most livable" cities in the country.
