These are the 17 fastest growing cities in America

People are always moving around. Whether for a job, family, or a whole host of other reasons many Americans are jumping from one city to another.

The US Census Bureau released its newest data on the population of American cities Thursday, and some metro areas are seeing huge growth.

We've compiled the top 17 metropolitan areas with population growth of 2.5% or more between July 1, 2014 and July 1, 2015.

An overwhelming majority of the regions are in the South, with 13 of the 17 metros coming from under the Mason-Dixon line. The West also does well with representatives from Utah, Oregon, and Colorado.
