Dickinson Population: 25,000 by 2015 -- Bakken, North Dakota, USA

Link here (regional link will break).
For 2015, Dickinson officials are projecting a population increase of nearly 50 percent compared to the most recent figures released from the U.S. Census Bureau.

According to the 2010 census report, Dickinson had a population of 17,787, but that number has continually been on the rise, City Administrator Shawn Kessel said.

“We believe we have grown quite a bit due to anecdotal evidence,” he said. “We are using a working census number between 20,000 and 21,000.”
2015 is about four years from now.  If Dickinson hits 25,000, I can only imagine what Williston, the heart of the Bakken, will hit.
