Texas suburbs lead U.S. for population growth as international migration slows, census finds

[RandySF]

Population growth in Texas is slowing amid a decline in immigration — but the state’s suburbs continue to boom and lead the nation in adding new residents.

Texas’ population, now over 31 million, grew by 391,243 or 1.2% between July 1, 2024, and July 1, 2025, census data released Thursday show.

Much of the state’s growth in recent years has been in the suburbs outside Austin, Dallas, and Houston. Growth in the state’s most populous cities has started to slow, or in the case of Dallas County, decline.

Lloyd Potter, the state demographer, said a 45% decline in residents from abroad is hindering the once-rapid growth in the state’s urban areas, especially as people continue to move to the suburbs.

1. Wait...31 million? The last few years it has been claimed texas has a population of 33 million.

So texas has lost population to the tune of 2 million people?
Don't blame people from abroad not wanting to come texas or the u.s. at all...not as long as it is busy trashing the u.s.
