In an era when cities are shrinking or, at best, remaining stagnant, from 2010 to 2020 Dublin saw it’s population increase 58 percent from 46,000 to 73,000, making it the fastest growing city in California, let alone the Bay Area.

And the reason is simple: Dublin has built housing. From 2010 to 2020, 1,800 new housing units were permitted per 10,000 existing residents as of 2010; nearly double the rate of Milpitas which ranked second in permits approved.
