(West Des Moines, IA) -- The population of West Des Moines continues to grow.
The city’s 2025 special partial census found the population has increased 7.6 percent since 2020, now surpassing 73,000 people. The West Des Moines City Council says the population boost will result in increased road use tax revenue for 2026 to support infrastructure.
