The growth in Auburn-Opelika over the last 10-15 years has been incredible. The schools are top notch and safe, especially when compared to a 30-mile radius. The housing and construction market have been on absolute fire.

I figured Fayetteville would be #1, Nashville would be #2, and Bryan-College Station #3 ...
Fayetteville/NW Arkansas have been pulling those numbers for 30 years now. Yes, we started out from darn near rock bottom, but the area just keeps growing.
Auburn, as much as it pains me to say this, is right in a wonderful place to live with a decent economy. Its over due for a growth spurt. Oxford is part of the steady growth of Mississippi. Again, started out at rock bottom and there is nowhere to go but up... but they are going up and at a steady rate now.
Nashville and College Station are like Fayetteville... their growth is tremendous but is been such steady consistent growth that it doesn't look as impressive. 10% growth? Most metro areas would be saying "thank you Sir may I have another".
What this tells us is that NW Arkansas, Nashville, and College Station are just churning along while folks have realized the Oxford and Auburn areas are prime for growth.
The surprise is Tuscaloosa and Baton Rouge both slumping heavily.

Auburn/Opelika sits in the middle of two major car manufacturing assembly plants and courted all the suppliers of those plants to the area. They also used public school to court the executives of those companies to the area. Plus a new medical school is adding to growth.
