It's no secret that passing up the suburbs for the "urbs" often equates to passing up on personal space. But, if you end up heading to one of these rapidly-growing metros in the next year or so, you might just find yourself even closer to your neighbor than you ever could have expected.

According to a report from CNN Money, which compiled the latest data from the U.S. Census Bureau to determine the largest percentage population growth in metro areas with a population of one million or more (see below for more details), these places are leading the way.

So if you really want to be where the people are (or at least where they're heading), these 10 metros might be the place to start home hunting. And if popularity isn't reason enough, at least consider theses ares for their booming businesses and industries, appealing housing prices and unprecedentedly low unemployment rates.
