There’s Texas and then there’s everywhere else

The southern shift shows no signs of easing.

The U.S. Census Bureau today released the list of fastest-growing cities in America. Most of them are in Texas.

There wasn’t any change in the makeup of the cities in the top-15 ranking, just a change in order. The only midwestern city on the list — Indianapolis — dropped one spot to number 13.

Minneapolis is now the 47th most populous city, adding about 4,000 residents between 2011 and 2012. Saint Paul is 55th (adding about 2,000 residents).

Here’s the total ranking of Minnesota cities.

The steady growth of the south makes it seem likely Minnesota will lose a seat in Congress in 2020. It barely kept it in the last redistricting of 2010.
