A University of Nebraska-Omaha researcher expects Johnson County to be ranked as high as second among Nebraska’s fastest growing counties.
David Drozd, research coordinator for public affairs, Sarpy County’s 25 percent population increase since 2000 will make it the fastest growing.
Coming in second is Johnson County, where a state correctional facility opened in 2001. A population increase of 13 percent is expected to surpass Lancaster County’s 12.5 percent gain.
“Johnson County’s ‘group quarters’ population has increased by nearly 950 persons since 2000,” Drozd said.
The report also indicates population changes will result in the shrinkage of area covered by the state’s second congressional district.
