Almost all the growth in Texas involves DFW, Austin, San Antonio, and Houston. Most other places are stagnant or declining. Looking at your link, its basically that plus Lubbock, Amarillo, and the Permian.
Pretty much. The Triangle, Lubbock, Midland and the Valley.
The center of Texas population is south of Temple and continues to move towards the South East and yet the imagine of West Texas still dominates people's minds.
This metric shows which states would have a positive or negative population trend without migration. For example, Utah is virtually guaranteed to see strong growth due to its unique demographics with a much higher birth rate and lower death rate than other states. The states have been color coded by census region.
The nation grew 0.4% or 1,256,003 in 2022, much improved from 0.2% or 520,042 in 2021.
2021-2022 gains in Texas (470,708), Florida (416,754), North Carolina (133,088), Georgia (124,847) and Arizona (94,320) totaled 1,239,717. The remaining 45 states + District of Columbia grew only 16,286.
For new milestones, Texas reached 30 million; Florida 22 million; Tennessee 7 million; and Oklahoma 4 million.
The top 5 states for 2021-2022 growth rates were Florida (1.9%), Idaho (1.8%), South Carolina (1.7%), Texas (1.6%) and South Dakota (1.5%).
18 states lost population from 2021-2022. The largest percentage declines were in New York (-0.9%), Illinois (-0.8%), Louisiana (-0.8%), West Virginia (-0.6%) and Hawaii (-0.5%).
If reapportionment was done on the 2022 estimates, four states would gain and lose one congressional district each. Gains for Texas (38 to 39), Florida (28 to 29), Arizona (9 to 10) and Idaho (2 to 3). Losses for California (52 to 51), New York (26 to 25), Illinois (17 to 16) and Minnesota (8 to 7).
When I see Florida, I always wonder why People bypass neighboring states which also were growing? Having visited Florida and the Carolinas and lived in Georgia, I think the Sunshine state's luster is diminishing.

Any areas 70 miles west of I-35 are seeing population lost. However, I was just out in Tyler this month, a city I had not visited in years and was surprised how busy it was. It's a metro area of over 200k as is Longview, 40 minutes east. I see these areas as places ripe for retiree growth and satellite offices of larger employers.
I’d say I highly doubt it’s both true CT, ME and NH are growing and Massachusetts is not. It’s entirely possible Massachusetts did hit the breaks due to Corona and people being untethered to Boston commutes. But i don’t know how for example CT would be a winner from COVID, reversing a decline while Mass was not. I kind of feel like the logic to jet off to FL or AZ from Mass, CT would have the same pressures. NH is linked to Mass in a way I struggle to see their fortunes diverging as radically as the Census says.
So I think one set of numbers is incorrect. Especially since the census underestimated
Massachusetts by about 200,000 people in 2019 and overestimated Fl, TX and AZ.
Also the estimates for MA would have an error range of +/- 350,000 (at 5%, which if you asks me, does seem a wee bit useless)so when they say the population decreased by 8,000 *the census* is saying it’s possible it grew
Ain't no overestimating Texas. It sucks up all the air in the Great Plains states, the southern states west of GA and the southern Rockies. Californian relocations remain material (I literally met a couple at the gym last week from Call). The state is top 3 for tech, #1 for Energy, Top 2 for international trade and Top 2 for illegal immigration. If anything, population count is under-reported.
