i am mexican, i leave near the border and texans and us always used to come an go. due to the very high level narcotic delicuency americans do not come any more to the mexican towns and furthermore many many mexicans have bought taxes n all this border cities and gone to live there. Maybe this is the reason of growth.

El Paso's growth is fueled by the military base consolidation and the growth of Fort Bliss in El Paso.

Having grown up in the Binghamton area, and just visited over Thanksgiving, all I can suggest is maybe it zeroed out a few years ago and had nowhere to go but up.

Since you are in boulder, do you know a company in Boulder called AK Designs? http://www.ak.com.They show this vaporware office chair called the EVO, but it's been "coming soon" for years, and they never return calls nor emails. I was wondering if anyone knew if they were still in business?

doh, my bad, they are based in UT, not colo. please delete my comment. but i can still not contact them. i just discovered they make a ottoman to hold rock band stuff liekt he drums and accessories. amazon comments show that other people have trouble getting in touch with them also. seems like a dumb way to grow by ignoring prospects?

Another "No shit, Sherlock" moment": I've heard several times in the last couple of months that "job losses (or some other measure of economic performance) were worse than expected." I mean, really, why are the people who form these "expectations" surprised?

Weirdly enough our area, the Greater Rochester NY area, grew by 5000 since the last census, reversing a trend that went back over fifty years. The city of Rochester shrank but the county we're in (which is contiguous with the city) grew. The only growth in NY outside of NYC.
Of course we didn't experience the housing inflation that the rest of the country did. And we have all the fresh water!

I half-expected to see Hunstville, AL on that list. I'm sure they're closer to "holding steady" than most, at least.
