These Are The 2018\u2019s Fastest-Growing Cities in America<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

With the Census Bureau reporting that the South held 8 of the 15 cities with the largest population gains in 2017, the personal-finance website WalletHub today released its report on 2018\u2019s Fastest-Growing Cities in America as well as accompanying videos.<\/p>\n

To determine where the most rapid local economic growth occurred over a period of seven years, WalletHub compared 515 U.S. cities across 15 key metrics. The data set ranges from population growth to college-educated population growth to unemployment rate decrease. In addition, we produced a separate ranking by city size.<\/p>\n

Some cities thrive even through hard economic times while others struggle. WalletHub said that they have used “data set ranges from population growth to unemployment rate decrease to growth in regional GDP per capita.”\u00a0 Additionally, the full report takes on data from household income or even the poverty rate and compare them with hundred of cities all across the US.<\/p>\n

Here you can see some of the key notes of the report:<\/strong><\/h1>\n
    \n
  • Frisco, Texas, experienced the highest\u00a0population growth<\/strong>,\u00a0at 6.52 percent. Conversely, Albany, Georgia experienced the highest\u00a0population decrease<\/strong>,\u00a0at 1.51 percent.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            In order to determine the most rapidly growing local economies, WalletHub compared 515 cities of varying population sizes based on two key dimensions, \u201cSociodemographics\u201d and \u201cJobs & Economy.\u201d<\/p>\n

            “We evaluated those dimensions using 15 relevant metrics, which are listed below with their corresponding weights. Each metric was graded on a 100-point scale, with a score of 100 representing the fastest economic growth. For each metric, we analyzed data spanning from 2011 to 2017 with the exception of \u201cIncrease in Number of Startups\u201d (from 2010 to 2014), \u201cIncrease in Number of Businesses\u201d (from 2011 to 2016) and \u201cIncrease in Venture Capital Investment Amount (from 2010 to 2016)\u201d,\u00a0<\/em>they stated when asked about their methodology. “Finally, we determined each city\u2019s weighted average across all metrics to calculate its overall score and used the resulting scores to rank-order our sample.”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
