Georgetown, TX coming in at the number 1 spot for the US. Not sure if I'm surprised Lake Charles wins for LA at 1.8%. New Orleans in the plus at 1.4%, Baton Rouge in the negative at 0.2%
If you want to fact check some census data, here's the link. First item is from 2010-2015, third is just for 2014-2015.

Interesting.
But in some cases, it's hard to tell a whole lot, from just that map at least. E.g., Sandy Springs is in Fulton County (Atlanta) and is only recently its own city, if you can call it that. It's really just Atlanta suburbia. So that just shows the growth of one Atlanta suburb.
Similar with Mt. Pleasant and Charleston. That metro is definitely exploding though.

I live near Georgetown now, and it's insane how fast homes are flying off the market. Home prices seem to be skyrocketing. Getting out of here as soon as possible.

Oh for sure, that's why the tabled census data is actually interesting. Bottom 3 cities for all the US are Albany, Marietta, and Voldosta GA losing 1.3, 1.7 and 1.7% of their populations.

Billions in new industry and the 11th busiest port in the US right now. That 1.8% could have been bigger this year had oil prices not dropped.

Lake Charles growing so fast sucks ballz. Preferred the old LC.

Southaven, Cary, White plains, Sandysprings...? Hummm?

My grandparents live in Georgetown and they claim that the growth is due to tech companies moving to the Austin area, which makes sense.

All of the billions being spent in LC means some unlucky fools have to move there to take those jobs.

I listened to a guy from sasol give a talk here at LSU in April and he was describing how huge their plant is going to be over there. Seems like a younger person area according to the census data as well

Lake Charles really isn't that bad. I would live there.
