The analysis of each city’s economic growth comes from Wallethub, which evaluated cities using two core dimensions: sociodemographics (50 points) and jobs and economy (50 points). These dimensions were assessed using 17 metrics, including population growth, growth in share of college-educated population, median household income growth, unemployment rate decrease, increase in number of businesses and median house price growth. The study defines a small city as one with fewer than 100,000 people.
Below are the top 30 small cities with the highest growth. The full ranking and scoring can be found here.
