I doubt many would correctly name the fastest-growing place in Missouri if I offered you ten guesses; I was surprised, too. I was incorrect in assuming Kansas City or a neighboring area.

Who would have thought that Columbia would see the most increase since 2020? Not me.

Even though I am aware that living expenses are on the rise in that region of Missouri, I was hoping to see a larger influx of individuals relocating there.
