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.

yes. the Texas growth is pretty ridiculous. I went back home to San Angelo, TX this last Christmas and it was a completely different town with traffic jams, strip clubs, Twin Peaks, and about 10 new hotels in the last 3 years. i always loved growing up there because of the smallish town 80-90k where nobody was in a rush. not the case anymore.
where i live now was about 55k when i moved here 6 years ago and no traffic issues at all. now we're around 70k and it's a CF every day on i35.

North Mississippi has been growing fast for the last decade or so. Olive Branch at one point was the fastest growing city in the country.
