Nashville, TN and Sacramento, CA tied with the 2nd highest growth rate, expanding 19% year over year. The fastest growing local market experienced some big shifts in income levels over the past year. In Raleigh, the number of people with at home Internet access reporting a household income of $75,000 to $99,999 a year increased by 72% from January 2002 to January 2003.
