Texas boomed in 2011

Texas – especially Dallas – boomed in 2011.  Personal income grew in every metropolitan statistical area in America, but Texas was a star performer. Its biggest MSA, the Dallas-Fort Worth area, was in the top quintile of all American metro areas. So was Houston. So was San Antonio. So was Austin. So was El Paso. That’s five out of the state’s top five metro areas, and you can throw in Corpus Christie and some of the small West Texas cities for good measure.  http://www.slate.com/blogs/moneybox/2012/11/26/texas_income_growth_dallas_houston_austin_san_antonio_el_paso_all_in_the.html
