The Top Nine Recession Resistant Suburbs of 2009
9 from 2009
This month, the Gadberry Group announced its list of 2009’s nine most notable high-growth areas in the US, “Gadberry Group’s 9 from 2009″ after analyzing growth, calling the following nine areas “recession resistant.”
- Braselton, Georgia (Atlanta suburb)
- Atascocita, Texas (Houston suburb)
- Spring Hill, Tennessee (Nashville suburb)
- Lincoln, California (Sacramento suburb)
- Katy, Texas (Houston suburb)
- Wake Forest, North Carolina (in the Raleigh-Durham triangle)
- Mansfield, Texas (Dallas suburb)
- Wylie, Texas (Dallas suburb)
- Buckeye, Arizona (Phoenix suburb)
It is notable that most of the areas that performed well under the pressure of the failing economy are located in the South, peppered with a Phoenix and California here and there. Also of note is that this year’s list averaged household growth of 170% from 2000 to 2009, compared to last year’s list average of 267% for the same period.
Regarding being the first in the list, Braselton Mayor Pat Graham said, “we’re ahead of the curve, setting a tone for high quality growth, award winning infrastructure and essential services, without levying a property tax. Our vibrant business community offers an array of amenities for small town living. What a tribute to be on this prestigious list.”

Hey I meant to give it a 5 star rating!
Note: four out of nine are from the Republic of Texas. Somehow Cypress, Tx and the Woodlands were left out along with Sugarland. Oh well.
Wish I could forward this to our Gov.
They are doing it right.
We knew Texas as going to be on the list but I am surprised that Buckeye, Arizona did too. Arizona was hit pretty hard last year.
I can’t believe Spring Hill, TN made the list. The recent closing of their Saturn (referenced in the article) plant has many worried….
