New data has been released showing population growth in various cities, with one set of data indicating that 12 cities are experiencing the most growth, and a significant portion of these cities are located in a popular retirement state. However, the specifics of which cities are growing the most are unclear, with different reports highlighting growth in southern cities, the suburbs of New York City, and Bryan-College Station. The data also appears to be related to broader trends in urbanization and housing affordability, but the exact connections between these trends are not specified.
