Within the past year, Austin moved from the ranking of the sixth to the first overall. Austin's population grows three times faster than the national average and is the eleventh most populated in the nation.  

Many factors contribute to Austin’s attractiveness, including its fantastic culture and friendly locals, the urban suburban feel, and great schools. Austin's official motto is the "Live Music Capital of the World," boasting the highest number of music venues per capita and hosts several major music festivals. The slogan “Keep Austin Weird" was adopted by the Austin Independent Business Alliance to promote small businesses in Austin. And while some local companies continue to grow and expand, many start-ups are other companies are moving their corporate headquarters to the Austin area.
