Lavon’s 75166 ZIP code has been ranked Texas’ No. 1 hottest ZIP code in Texas and No. 4 hottest in the nation by MovingPlace.com. Lavon is a town 33 miles northeast of Dallas, about a one-hour drive from there, and is one of the fastest-growing small towns in the Lone Star State.
“Lavon sits in eastern Collin County, well past the established growth edge of McKinney and Wylie, in territory that until recently was largely rural,” the report reads. “Its appearance at number four nationally reflects the continued outward push of DFW’s exurban expansion. Buyers drawn by lower land costs and new construction are willing to take longer commutes in exchange for entry-level price points that are increasingly difficult to find closer to Dallas.”
Lavon has a population of 10,464, according to World Population Review, but it has been growing at an annual rate of 10.41%. For context, the population in 2020 was 4,544, a 130.28% increase from then to now.
