The capital of Texas was followed in that ranking by Charlotte, Denver, Seattle and Nashville, all the usual suspects among happening cities these days.<\/p>\n<p>Among mid-sized cities (population of 100,000 to 300,000) the\u00a0No. 1\u00a0for economic growth last year was Frisco, Texas, a major suburb of Dallas-Fort Worth. Next in the ranking were Kent, Wash., a Seattle suburb; Lehigh Acres, Fla., near Fort Myers; Midland, Texas; and McKinney, Texas, another major suburb of Dallas-Fort Worth (on the large city list, Fort Worth was No. 12 and Dallas was No. 17).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Among small cities, Meridian, Idaho ranked no. 1. It was followed by Fort Myers; Bend, Ore.; Pleasanton, Calif.; and Saint George, Utah. To be on this list, a city needs to have 100,000 or fewer residents.<\/p>\n<p>To determine where the fastest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/economy-watch-washington-state-has-healthiest-economy\/\">local economic growth<\/a> occurred last year, WalletHub compared 515 cities of varying population sizes, based on 15 key measures of both growth and decline over a period of seven years. The data sets included raw population growth, unemployment rate decrease, growth in regional GDP per capita, median house prices, building-permit activity, college-educated population growth and more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cities in Texas made the most appearances on Wallethub&#8217;s latest study, with the state capital topping the list of large U.S. cities with the fastest economic growth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1023,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[23891,21742],"tags":[33243],"class_list":["post-1004192663","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-national","category-latest","tag-wallethub"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
