Above is a link to a blog post I just wrote about Statesboro's growth over the past five years.  I moved to Atlanta in 2009 for grad school at Georgia Tech.  As soon as I left, things started exploding... many of the restaurants I always wanted opened after I left.  Sunday liquor-by-the-drink sales passed after I left too.

 

Btw - the majority of these developments occured after the 2010 Census was recorded.  In 2010-2011, Statesboro was the 6th fastest-growing micropolitan statistical area in the United States (541 total) and Bulloch County was the 27th fastest-growing county in the US.

 

For 2010-2012, Statesboro dropped to 19th fastest-growing micro in the US.
