Oxford movin on up.
Surprised to see Oxford and Starkville have that low of a population to house D1 schools, but then i looked at your 2010 census and saw that the only city above 100k was Jackson.
My FiL is from Biloxi and he made it sound like it was pretty podunk, but it's at 40k+.

Oxford is one of the fastest growing areas in Mississippi, but it is all relative. Not much else appears to be growing down there.
Nothing anywhere compares to Texas metro growth right now. NWA continues to grow at a clip of around 9-10k people per year. That's plenty for this little metro area, if you ask me. It has passed some regional peers like Springfield, MO and Shreveport, LA. NWA will eclipse the Jackson metro in population in less than a decade, if present trends continue.
