US Cities On The Rise
Source: forbes.com
"Americans are moving to college towns and job-growth centers, not the big cities.
Detroit may be under siege by high crime, a lousy climate and the decimation of the auto industry, but one other U.S. metro is less desirable for relocation than the Motor City: New York.
The two metro areas are the least moved-to of any in the country. Residents that moved to those cities last year account for only 1.5% and 1.1% of the population, respectively, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey, released last week."
Some of the cities mentioned in the article have been on the rise for the past decade. Businesses use college towns as a base of their educational wealth. Colleges and universities provide excellent resources for young and old - education, intellect, money, sports amenities, sport teams, and stable housing markets, among others. When I get set to retire (quite a number of years away), I'll be looking at a desirable community near a major college or university.
