Interesting stats Jeff. Look at Wichita. You might point to you're "friends" down there that when it comes to economic muscle, Wichita is barely half the city Omaha is. And if you cite your trailer park statistics again, taking that key economic sector away from their fair city means they're less than half an O-mee-haw.

Man, that was greatest hits reading.

A very interesting listing.  Sioux Falls SD is ranking right above Lincoln, NE even though Lincoln city limits and Lincoln Metro population are bigger than Sioux Falls city limits and Metro.

I grew up in South Dakota, btw.

Let's not forget that money In Omaha and Lincoln flow between the two like one market:

Lincoln, NE (MSA) 11,477 12,189  +5.8%
Omaha-Council Bluffs, NE-IA (MSA) 36,664 39,058   +6.1%

Omaha/Lincoln 48,141 51,247 +6.0%

pushing it just past:

Salt Lake City, UT (MSA) 46,410 50,643
Louisville-Jefferson County, KY-IN (MSA) 48,170 50,108
Birmingham-Hoover, AL (MSA) 45,959 49,321
Oklahoma City, OK (MSA) 43,144 46,661

Rochester, NY (MSA) 39,895 41,897
Honolulu, HI (MSA) 38,291 41,111

and just under:
Memphis, TN-MS-AR (MSA) 54,452 56,694
Richmond, VA (MSA) 51,301 55,616
Jacksonville, FL (MSA) 49,104 52,592
