SIOUX FALLS, SD (KELO-AM) Sioux Falls was one of the top three fastest growing metro areas in the Midwest in 2016.

People are moving to booming Sioux Falls - no doubt about that - but if you dig into the Census Bureau statistics, you find that a baby boom had a lot to do with it. There were nearly 3,900 births in the metro area in 2016.
