Oxford is one of the fastest growing areas in Mississippi, but it is all relative. Not much else appears to be growing down there.

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.

Well it's DeSoto County that's growing so fast, Rankin is in second, or was a couple of years ago. I think it has slowed up. Other than that, there's nothing much to speak of.

Olive Branch has slowed way down. It only added 500 people between 2010 and 2013 according to census.gov. 2014 city estimates data isn't available yet.

DeSoto Co added 9k folks in the past four years. Thats healthy growth for the county's size. Memphis as a metro isn't growing much. Without "natural increase" due to some relatively high birthrates, it would actually be shrinking.
