Texas Water Development Board

take a look at the spread sheets.

according to this, texas will add about 20 million between bow and 2060.

agree? disagree?

what about where they think the growth will occur?

Harris county at 7 million?

Ft Worth larger than Dallas?

agree? disagree?-Most definitely. That is 20M in 50 years is achievable. That is what? 4M a decade? Half of what we are gaining now.

what about where they think the growth will occur? -Texas triangle baby

Harris county at 7 million? -why not, a lot of that thing is still empty. Look at LA county and cook county

Ft Worth larger than Dallas?- I have been saying that for a year now
my responses are in bold

Those are very conservative numbers for 50 years of growth. HtownLove is right with his post.

Its funny seeing Austin stalled at 1.6M and SA, Dallas and FW at the 2M range.

It shows Sugarland growing till 2030 and then stalling for 30 years there cities like Beaumont and Galveston didn't even change all the way through.

I think most of Harris counties numbers will be within Houston city limits though. so If HArris is going to be 7M only about 2M of that will be outside city limits.

Texas Population Projections Program (http://txsdc.utsa.edu/tpepp/2008projections/ - broken link)

some of these numbers can be crazy though!

Wow, look at the prediction for the population of Conroe-200,007. That is mind boggling. This table/graph is fun and interesting.

wow,
The SA region 4.2M
North Texas 13M
South Eats Texas 11M
Brazos 3.4M
Austin Area 2.8M


That is almost 35M for the Texas Triange.

It seems that the area inside the triangle is goiing to really fill out.

Wow look at the valley at 4M

Fascinating chart! Pearland keeps growing while Plano winds down. The Golden Triangle is stuck in a rut. No surprise there as Orange is actually losing population right now.

They have League City is at 60,000 in 2020, but I thought it was 65-70,000 right now.
