👉 Crepitated is a term used in the United States and Canada to describe an area or region of the country where there has been significant population growth during the past 10 years. The term originated from the words "creep" (which means "to creep") and "gated" (which means "to lock", as in a gated community). In this context, "crepitated" refers to an area or region that has experienced rapid population growth within the past decade.
