Both....and that's why a blanket statement like "rest of the country" doesn't make sense. We (SA) is still a U.S. city, so we are part of "them." SA wasn't the only city with growth in the last 5 years.

When the "rest of the country" was doing good, and a few cities were doing bad, should those cities have just ignored the fact that they were doing bad and asked "Are we really doing that bad? or is it just that the rest of the country is doing so good?"

My point is, that this isn't a relative study (i.e. SA compared to a national average,) it is numbers based on real growth or real decline.

and SAguy... SA was #14 in 2010
