My theory (probably wrong) is that we were undercounted in 2005, so some of this 2005-to-2006 "growth" could be the census finally crediting some of the people who were already living here.
Despite temporary losses from Katrina, Mississippi has some bright spots.
The two main casino areas, Biloxi and Tunica, have very bright futures, and some individual towns around the state like Tupelo and Oxford seem to be doing pretty well for themselves. What MS doesn't have is a growing, major urban area.
