Since 2000, Crestview’s population has increased by 67%. That’s an increase of about 14,000 people. The sharpest increase in the population came in 2010, 2011, and 2012 and then again in 2020. The total percentage increase in those years was 23%. A large portion of that came from the addition of the Army’s 7th Special Forces Group, comprised of about 2,500 active-duty personnel and about 300 civilians who work alongside them.
