New population estimates released this week by the U.S. Census Bureau show that Westfield remains one of the fastest-growing cities in America.
According to the Census Bureau, Westfield’s population grew 7.7 percent in 2022, pushing the city’s total population last year to 54,605. The new figures mirrored Westfield’s growth in 2021, when the city’s population also grew by 7.7 percent, making it the fastest-growing city in Indiana among those with at least 5,000 residents. For 2022, Westfield remained Indiana’s fastest-growing city.

“The census figures are a testament to the desirability of Westfield,” Mayor Andy Cook said. “We have created a city where people want to live, work, and feel safe. We have beautiful parks, trail systems, great neighborhoods, and Grand Park, the nation’s biggest and best youth sports campus.”
Westfield’s designation stands out among America’s top 15 fastest-growing cities since most are in the south. Texas dominated the list, claiming six. Westfield is the only Midwestern city among the top 15, with the second-lowest crime rate among those cities.
“Our welcome mat is out,” Cook added. “We don’t have mountains or an ocean, so we must create a place where people choose to live and businesses choose to build and grow. Designations are wonderful, but our residents remain one of Westfield’s greatest assets.”
