10. Indianapolis, Ind.

 

Thanks to a business-friendly attitude, inexpensive housing and a strong cultural community, Indianopolis’ population–now at 1.7 million–has increased at a rate that is 50% higher than the national average. That’s faster than hot spots Washington, D.C., and Seattle, and nearly as fast as urban-planner darlings Portland or Denver. But while Portland and Denver may attract more young singles, Indianapolis boasts a growing population of educated, young married couples–many coming from cities like Chicago for the shorter commutes and lower cost of living–an arguably more attractive demographic since they will most likely stay, raise families and invest in the communities, boosting the area’s growth even more.
