[edit] Iowa's "Fastest Growing City?"

In June, 2006 a U.S. Census Bureau estimate stated that the town's population had grown to 261, a 135% increase. This figure took into account a 2002 building permits report that stated 97 permits had been issued for dwellings. Obviously, this was a mistake, for as the City Clerk noted in conversation with a news reporter, "I think we only have 54 houses in the whole town." The town is expected to appeal the estimate -- the only way it will be revised -- and if and when this happens, Panorama Park will have been nominally both the fastest-growing and the fastest-shrinking city in Iowa.[1]
