AUSTIN (KXAN) — More than 30 million people now call Texas home, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

County population estimates as of July 2022 were released late last month. The statewide population grew by about 3% since the 2020 Census, but that growth isn’t being seen evenly across the state.

In fact, 102 of Texas’ 254 counties saw a population decline in that two-year span.

So which parts of the state are seeing the most growth, and how could that impact future election results in Texas?

We’ve divided the state up into five categories:

Major Metros (Bexar, Dallas, Harris, Tarrant and Travis counties)
Smaller Cities (places like Amarillo, Corpus Christi, Lubbock and Tyler)
Suburban Counties (such as Collin, Denton, Fort Bend, Hays and Williamson counties)
the Border Region (including Brownsville, El Paso and Laredo)
and all of the Other Counties in Texas


Some really interesting facts and figures...
