A list of the best up-and-coming cities!

This website just released a list of the best up-and-coming cities for 2025: https://www.realestatewitch.com/up-and-coming-cities-in-the-us/

Their top 10 was:

1. Madison, WI
2. Fargo, ND
3. Lincoln, NE
4. Provo, UT
5. New Haven, CT
6. Omaha, NE
7. Ann Arbor, MI
8. Fayetteville, AR
9. Portland, ME
10. Hartford, CT

Seems to be much smaller cities than the typical Miami, Nashville, Charlotte, etc. Does anyone living in or from these cities agree?

I would love to hear what some of these smaller cities are offering/known for that may be helping it climb in popularity.
