11. Just a note for those that don't know..,

It’s not that we hate skyscrapers, there is a city ordinance that prohibits any building built higher than the state capitol. It gives Madison a more small town vibe. In actuality it is quite small for a capital city, especially with a university in the neighborhood of 40,000 students. I believe the population of Madison is around 500k. That shocked me because last I checked it was around 200k.

From the Wisconsin State Journal:
“U.S. Census Bureau data shows that Madison experienced the fastest growth of any city in the state from 2010 to 2020”.

There are 5 towns that are suburbs of Madison in the top 10 fastest growing cities. There is a reason for that!
