Round Rock again finds itself near the top of the heap as the Round Rock-Austin metropolitan area landed among the best performing cities in the U.S., according to a recent study.
The Milken Institute, a nonpolitical think tank, ranked the region as No. 3 in its annual Best Performing Cities series, which has tracked the economic performance of metros across the country for more than two decades.
Round Rock-Austin is one of two Texas metro areas to make the top 10, with Dallas-Plano-Irving coming in at No. 9. The San Francisco-Redwood City-South San Francisco area placed first.
The study takes into account job growth, wage and salary growth, and growth domestic product indicators in its analysis of urban economies.
