RE: how is that list different from the CURRENT big boom towns?
Come to think of it, you’re right. Cities like Austin and Raleigh have been on the top 10 list since as far as I can remember. Las Vegas used to be on the list but has since been dropped.
tennesee, texas, and north carolina have had strong showings for ten years. Fifteen years ago california and wisconsin would’ve probably had one city each on the list. Possibly colorado springs. Other than that, not much different.
