Finding a new home is a tedious endeavor, no matter how well-prepared you are. Part of the challenge is searching for a new location. As a result, people turn to expert opinion and research to see what could be a great fit for them. Several reports explored which U.S. cities and towns experienced a population boom over the last few years. Other studies dove into interesting trends regarding relocation to different states.
