It's also fine for well-off retirees. Even though the population has been growing fast, the city has been losing children. The local NPR station said that AISD lost 7,000 students. Families are moving to the suburbs where it's cheaper to buy a house.
For the Army Austin is the best bet of the top 10. A few of the top ten would be a joke for the Army to even go to. Easy selection if you ask me.
For future Snowbirds like me, it's the same. Only 4 are warm weather locations and only Texas (Austin) is pro-retirees.
That tells me affluent folks are moving there (i.e., fewer kids) and retirees? I myself would also live in a smaller suburb if I snowbird there (6 months and one day for tax reasons).
