Bloomberg Businessweek crunched the numbers, attributing the rapid growth to "a relatively low unemployment rate and relatively high income levels."
Ron Maxey got the local perspective:
"Vickie Dupree, executive director of the Olive Branch Chamber of Commerce, said it isn't just low unemployment and high income that make the city a nice place to live.
"It's also the good schools, the small-town atmosphere, the good tax rate," she said."
