LIST: These Are The Fastest-Growing Cities In California

A new report by WalletHub​​ ranks the fastest-growing ​cities in the country. How does your city rank?

Frisco is the fastest-growing city in the country. No, not San Francisco, as some might expect.

According to a new report by WalletHub, Frisco, Texas, tops the list of the fastest-growing cities in America due to its rapid job and population growth. The Dallas suburb is home to the Dallas Cowboys headquarters and National Videogame Museum.

To determine where the most rapid local economic growth occurred from 2010 to 2016, WalletHub analysts compared 515 U.S. cities of varying sizes across 15 key metrics. The data ranges from job growth to population growth, and median household income growth to median house price growth.
