Five cities in Florida experiencing significant growth in the United States.

The rapid economic growth plays a key role in making emerging cities potential and attractive landing spots. As global economies become increasingly interconnected, many companies seek opportunities to expand into new markets. For this reason, cities experiencing rapid economic growth are often considered prime locations for new investments.

WalletHub's analysis of 515 U.S. cities identified the places that have seen the highest levels of economic growth over the past seven years. The results showed that many of the fastest-growing cities are located in the southern and western United States.

These regions have benefited from strong population growth and an influx of capital investments in recent years.

As a result, they offer an attractive proposition for companies looking to expand their operations. With its rapidly growing economy, extensive expansion opportunities, and desirable location, an emerging city can be an appealing option for businesses seeking to take advantage of new growth opportunities.

Five of these cities are in Florida, with Miami ranking at number 18. This city has a population of nearly 471,000, and the area's largest employers include Publix Super Markets, Baptist Health, and the University of Miami, according to the South Florida Business Journal.

The other Florida cities listed in this study were:

• Brandon (24)
• Cape Coral (9)
• Fort Myers (6)
