Wow...Cary makes the news again! The Raleigh-Cary Metropolitan Statistical Area is among the top 5 places in America that became homes to the most newcomers in 2008.According to an October 1st article at Forbes.com, several of the top 10 most attractive areas include college and university towns where students and education professionals help welcome outsiders to make their homes there. The Raleigh-Cary area is among them.
William Frey, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution says "If there are lots of newcomers, it's easy to make friends; there's a sense of vibrancy there". Places that don't have a lot of new migrants tend to be older and more stagnant".The ratings are based on the number of newcomers as a percentage of the area's population.
Here are the top 10:
1. Colorado Springs, Colorado
2. Provo, Utah
3. Bakersfield, California
4. Austin, Texas
5. RALEIGH-CARY, NORTH CAROLINA
6. Columbia South Carolina
7. Cape Coral, Florida
8. Lakeland, Florida
9. Palm Bay, Florida
10. Bradenton, Florida
