With economic growth expected to slow in the short term after a devastating hurricane season, the personal-finance website WalletHub conducted an in-depth analysis of 2017’s Fastest-Growing Cities in America.

To determine where the most rapid local economic growth occurred over a period of seven years, WalletHub’s analysts compared 515 U.S. cities across 15 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.

The fastest growing cities include Frisco, Texas, Kent, Washinton, and Lehigh Acres, Florida. At the bottom are Fayetteville, North Carolina, Jacksonville, North Carolina, and Shreveport.
