Oil boomtown Williston, ND keeps its title as the fastest-growing town with a population over 10,000, growing at a blistering 13.9% from 2012 to 2013. It was closely followed by north Dallas suburb Little Elm, TX (+13.3%), south Denver suburb Lone Tree, CO (+11.5%), Prosper, TX (+10.3%), another north Dallas suburb, and the NYC suburb of Harrison, NJ (+9.3%), near Newark.
Smallish, ruralish, California towns made up 3 of the top 5 10,000+ losers, with northern Caifornia's Susanville (-6.4%) bringing up the rear. Susanville was followed by Avenal, CA (-4.8%) in the Central Valley, Florence, AZ (-4.7%), arguably exurban Phoenix but off the main highway corridors, Detroit enclave Highland Park, MI (-4.3%), and Tehachapi, CA (-4.1%), in Kern County southeast of Bakersfield.
3 state capitals are among cities with over 100,000 that lost population between 2010 and 2013: Lansing, Montgomery, and Jackson. Cities with over 100,000 persons that declined during that period: St. Louis, Rockford, South Bend, Lansing, Flint, Detroit, Toledo, Akron, Cleveland, Erie, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Waterbury, Paterson, Hampton, Montgomery, Mobile, and Jackson. Flint dropped below 100,000. There are about 33 suburbs that have over 200,000 population (some might disclaim being suburbs).
