Cedar Park

Cedar Park is the fourth fastest growing city in the nation in the population category from 10-50,000, according to the U.S. Bureau of the Census. From a population of 5,161 in 1990, Cedar Park has exploded on the popularity scale, developing into a community of over 30,000 residents in 10 years.

A neighborhood that attracts qualified workforce

The area labor force offers a wide range of skills with the largest group of occupational skills being professional/managerial (76.8 percent), followed by office-related skills (67 percent). Over half of the working adults in Cedar Park travel 10 miles or more to work. Of these individuals, 60 percent would be willing to change jobs if there was comparable opportunity available closer to home.

A relaxed suburban lifestyle
