TX is very interesting when you look at the racial breakdown and who grew.

Whites grew less than the black population, even though there are so many more white people!

even though they are still a plurality of the population, Hispanics will probably overtake them by mid-decade.

will make for some very interesting politics over the next decade or so!

This is where Urban Area is better, I do agree with that also. I didn't really get it when I first started posting but the distance between a county like Walker County, TX and Harris County, TX is somewhat like a 50 mile long drive or so (I think).

I completely agree with what you're saying, its not picking on any city or metro but you're right, the definitely for the present MSA & CSA do tend to favor areas where there are large and scarcely populated counties versus an area bordered by rivaling metropolitan regions altogether, example like Baltimore & Philadelphia immediately coming to mind.

Here you go: 2010 Census Mail Participation Rate Map - 2010 Census
You're forgetting Brazoria County, which has more than 313K today.

Past years this decade were just estimates though. These are hard counts. This is weird for a major Texas city though. Dallas is the only landlocked one though. They need to start redeveloping the southern parts of the city, but apparently developers aren't allowed to.

The Major Cities & Metropolitan Areas for Next Week:

- Saint Louis
- Kansas City
- Salt Lake City

Seems like a pretty balanced line up for next week's released. If they do California, Pennsylvania, & New York in the same week, its going one hell of a busy week.

Your wrong on LA, Houston, Phoenix, San Antonio, Philly, Dallas, and San Diego. Philly loses population, I think not. LA gains 300K also not happening

I never understood why people always want to make Fort Worth more important than Dallas, even if one day it does pass it in population I can almost guarantee that the metro will still use Dallas for name recognition.
