“There has been a rush of development along the edges of Wake County in recent years as growth spreads from Raleigh into bedroom communities.
Except for Garner.
The town, which was home to 28,858 people as of June 30, 2017, has seen little of the population increases that the rest of the Triangle has seen, according to U.S. Census estimates released Thursday.” — N&O

Less desirable schools and being on the wrong side of Raleigh for most. It’s also kind of run down feeling which most people don’t want. At least that is how it felt to me when I’ve been.
Clayton seems farther. If you drive from Raleigh to Clayton you'd almost go through Garner. Even if you bypassed Garner altogether you're still be driving a lot of miles to get to Clayton.
I would guess that Fortify has had a lot to do with it.
