What are the top 2 cities, or area in your state.... (centers, suburbs)

Actually in PA the south central part (along I 81 from Carlisle south to the MD border) is growing in huge leaps and bounds. As the Baltimore/DC corridor expands, people and small business are looking for more affordable places and have moved here in droves.

On that note, the eastern panhandle of WV has experienced amazing growth and housing prices have probably doubled in the last decade. The Hagerstown/Cumberland areas of MD are experiencing the same growth.

I expect the growth to expand into Harrisburg, PA within the next decade, with some minor growth in all outlining areas.

The area east of Pittsburgh, PA is experiencing some growth as it is popular with retirees and for vacation homes, although it will take a while to reach depressed pockets like Johnstown and Altoona.

Thank you everyone for your posts. I'm finding them very informative. And perhaps this will help others to see where peeps are landing, .

In Missouri, I'd say it'd have to be in either Springfield, Joplin, St. Louis or KC. Springfield and Joplin are attracting people from as far away as California.

In Texas, it would be Houston,and Dallas.

See now I am glad to hear this. Because I have heard many people wanting to leave Detroit. And it is good it balances with people coming in,

I thought it would be interesting to hear from all the states if possible.

In NC, it still would be the Raleigh and Charlotte areas.

Not sure, our entire state is moving to Raleigh and Charlotte . Much of the state seems to be stagnating in population right now.

Yes, but the Buffalo area is losing residents, while the Albany area is gaining many new residents.

The question was: What are the top 2 cities, or area in your state that are receiving the most growth at the moment from new residents.

After looking at the Statistics... the NYC area and the Albany area are growing the fastest:

NYC
New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-PA Metropolitan Statistical Area (CBSA) Population and Components of Change
Albany
Albany-Schenectady-Troy, NY Metropolitan Statistical Area (CBSA) Population and Components of Change

(Poughkeepsie-Newburgh-Middletown, NY wasn't included as an option, IMO they are just part of the NYC area called Downstate NY.)

New York City and Buffalo.

I think I'll agree with Ctownnative and go with Cincinatti and Columbus. The Timken company just shut down in Canton so everybody is leaving. Cleveland isn't doing much different than the past few years to my knowledge.
