Over the past few decades, Loudoun County’s population has grown exponentially. From 1992 to 2022, the number of people living in the Northern Virginia county spiked by more than 350%, according to census data.
That growth has now been accompanied by rapid transit, as Metro’s Silver Line opened nearly two years ago with new stations connecting Ashburn to Dulles International Airport, Reston and Tysons. The county has envisioned its new Metro stations as hubs for the kind of mixed-use development that has arisen in D.C. and its closer-in suburbs.
