Thank you for joining us at the 2026 Texas Demographic Conference in Austin! We appreciate your participation and are excited to share that all presentations and session recordings are now available for you to explore.
We are pleased to announce the release of the final Vintage 2024 Population Estimates for Texas. Our population estimates include data for counties and places for July 1 of each year from 2021 through 2024, as well as for January 1, 2025.

The article explains that small suburban cities in Texas metro areas are growing the fastest in the U.S. as more people move there for affordability and space, a trend Texas demographer Lloyd Potter says reflects a shift away from big cities.
