With the Census Bureau reporting that the South and West held 13 of the 15 cities with the largest population gains between 2010 and 2019, the personal-finance website WalletHub today released its report on 2020’s Fastest-Growing Cities in America.

To determine where the most rapid local economic growth occurred over a period of seven years, the site compared 515 U.S. cities across 17 key metrics. The data set ranges from population growth to college-educated population growth to unemployment rate decrease. In addition, we produced a separate ranking by city size.

Concord ranked #24 overall and #7 for small cities. Charlotte ranked #11 for large cities.
