(The Center Square) – Chicago remains the nation's third most populated city, but it was No. 2 in the total number of people leaving the city limits. Population estimates of incorporated areas with more than 50,000 people were released by the U.S. Census this week. The data reveals towns in Texas and California saw big gains in people moving in. Georgetown, Texas, had the highest rate of growth of 14.4%. The nine fastest-growing cities were in the southern part of the country, six of them being in Texas.
