The fastest-growing cities in America

The submitted URL is a bit of blog spam, imho...the data graphic is just the one the Census itself created, and the Census press release contains more data: https://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2016/cb16-81....

The full table for the population change of places of 50K population can be found here: https://www.census.gov/popest/data/cities/totals/2015/

(under the link titled, "Annual Estimates of Resident Population Change for Incorporated Places of 50,000 or More in 2014, Ranked by Percent Change: July 1, 2014 to July 1, 2015", which can't be direct-linked because of the Census website's hugely complex app state logic)

It's said over the last decade it's clear Texas beats California all around in the sense capitalism beats socialism.

They are both large, with lots of immigrants, and close to the ocean. Texas's weather especially in the summer is not appealing, still people just move here due to better chances.

Houston, Dallas, San Antonio and Austin are also 4 out of the 11 largest cities in US now.

I cannot comment for the other places but Dublin and Milpitas are a case of "Everywhere else is stupidly unaffordable."

Dublin is a nice place, but the commute is a nightmare.

Milpitas on the other hand is both nice and reasonably close to most workplaces. But it is literally next to a landfill. The smell, especially during the (very long)summer, is awful.

I prefer these lists when they are done by MSAs rather than by towns of a certain size. Nonetheless the trend is clear that people want warm weather and low cost of living - and are voting with their feet for both (in many cases following jobs @ companies doing the same).

For extremely low values of "city".

Wow, neat! I'm probably moving to Georgetown this summer.
