Panorama Park is a city in Scott County, Iowa, United States.
[3] It is surrounded by Bettendorf, and is part of the Quad Cities metro area.
[4] According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 0.05 square miles (0.13 km2), all land.
[5] Panorama Park exists due to a road maintenance controversy from the early 1950s.
The city of Bettendorf ignored requests to maintain the thoroughfare known as Park Avenue, a dirt road which was often left icy or muddy.
The racial makeup of the city was 96.9% White, 2.3% Native American, and 0.8% Asian.
23.1% of all households were made up of individuals, and 9.6% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.
In June 2006, a U.S. Census Bureau estimate stated that the town's population had grown to 261, a 135% increase.
Obviously, this was a mistake, for as the City Clerk noted in conversation with a news reporter, "I think we only have 54 houses in the whole town."
The town is expected to appeal the estimate—the only way it will be revised—and if and when this happens, Panorama Park will have been nominally both the fastest-growing and the fastest-shrinking city in Iowa.
