It's DE for sure and I assume it's because of its proximity to Philly and competing to keep its population.
So Wilmington makes this list but not Philly? Yeah that makes zero sense. Wilmington doesn't even have it's own MSA, it's a metropolitan division within the Philly MSA.

I think they're talking about Wilmington, NC, not Wilmington, DE. As you've stated, we don't even have an MSA, so I don't see how they could crunch their numbers when MSA is the benchmark. Wilmington, NC is the second fastest growing metro in the state, so this has to be about that area.

Which still doesn't make much sense. Wilmington, NC making the list over Raleigh, Durham, Charlotte, or even Asheville? Even on a per capita basis, it's a huge head-scratcher.

I could be wrong but Wilmington could have a higher per capital amenity rate then Philly. I'm not sure.. but it's not implausible.
Well Boulder is a college town; 1/3 of the population is students so that makes a certain amount of sense.
I don't disagree with you that a high population of students could effect this but this would mean we should be seeing other college towns make the list at such a high rate. Boulder must be doing something right.
