The Best Smalltown Is Now This Austin, Texas Suburb

It was only 3 years ago that Leander was the fastest growing town in Texas, and as other communities have surpassed them in terms of percentage of population increase, Leander remains a great destination for Texans seeking smalltown life.

Now, according to this Wallet Hub article, Leander is the best small town in Texas, and ranks #2 overall in the country for economic potential. Which leads me to believe Leander will not remain so small for too much longer.

There are a few other small towns in Texas that also rank very high on the desirabitlity list for the United States like Allen just north of Plano, and another Austin suburb in Cedar Park.
