Census data indicates a shift in regional growth patterns. Port St. Lucie is experiencing significant growth, driving the regional trend.

In contrast, Palm Beach is seeing minimal growth, with its expansion nearly coming to a halt. Other nearby areas, including Martin, Indian River, and Okeechobee, are posting smaller gains. Further details on these growth patterns can be found through the latest Census estimates, as reported by CBS12.
