In terms of number of people, Texas’ growth exceeds that of all other states between 2000 and 2010. Source: U.S. Census Bureau. 2000 and 2010 Census Count.

Values for 2012 and 2013 are for July 1 as estimated by the U.S. Census Bureau. Since 1950, Texas has grown substantially with some variation over the years in the speed of growth.

Texas Population 1950-2010 Population growth in Texas has been geometric in nature. Over the past two decades there have been three 20 year periods where the numeric growth has increased. We have no indication that the population growth in Texas will slow in coming years. Source: U.S. Census Bureau, Census Counts

Components of Population Change by Percent in Texas, 1950-2010 Prior to the 1970s decade, most of Texas’ population growth was driven by natural increase (births-deaths). During the 1970s net in-migration became a significant element of Texas’ population growth and now accounts for about half of our population growth. Of the net in-migration, about half can be attributed to net in domestic migration and about half to international migration. Source: U.S. Census Bureau, Population Estimates

Total Estimated Population by County, Texas, 2013 The counties of Harris, Dallas, Tarrant, Bexar, and Travis make up the points of the “population triangle” in Texas and are the most populated in the State. Collin, Denton, Fort Bend, Hidalgo, and El Paso counties also have significant population concentrations. Many counties west of Interstate 35 are more sparsely populated. Approximately 86% of Texas’ population is along or east of Interstate 35. Source: U.S. Census Bureau, 2013 Vintage Population Estimates

Estimated Change of the Total Population by County, Texas, 2010 to 2013 99 counties lost population over the three year period. Population change so far this decade has been greatest in the urban and suburban population triangle counties. Counties in the lower Rio Grande Valley also had significant growth as did El Paso county. Overall, 155 counties gained population while 99 (39%) lost population over the decade. Those counties that are losing population are doing so largely as a function of net out migration of younger persons (entering the labor force). The result is a trend for the age structure of the populations in these more rural counties toward becoming older. Source: U.S. Census Bureau, 2013 Vintage Population Estimates.

Estimated Percent Change of the Total Population by County, Texas, 2010 to 2013 Percent change is an indicator of the speed of population change void of information about the volume of population change. Percent change in the population over the past few years has been greatest in the urban and suburban population triangle counties. Notably counties in the Eagle Ford Shale area (south east of San Antonio) and the Cline Shale area (Midland and Odessa), have been growing quickly. Overall, 155 counties gained population while 99 lost population over the decade. Source: U.S. Census Bureau, 2013 Vintage Population Estimates.

Texas Racial and Ethnic Composition, As of the 2000 Census, about 53% of Texas’ population was non-Hispanic Anglo, about 32% where of Hispanic descent, about 11% where non-Hispanic African American, and about 4% were non-Hispanic Other. In 2010, it is estimated that about 45% of the Texas population was non-Hispanic Anglo, 38% of Hispanic descent, 11% were non-Hispanic African American, and about 6% were non-Hispanic Other (largely of Asian descent).

Texas White (non-Hispanic) and Hispanic Populations by Age, 2010 The age distribution of the non-Hispanic white population in Texas is weighted heavily with the “baby boom” generation. Largely the result of lower fertility and less net in-migration, the non-Hispanic white population has relatively fewer young persons relative to those in the middle-age years. In 2010, at ages 37 and younger, the Hispanic population exceeds the non-Hispanic white population. Source: U.S. Census Bureau 2010 Decennial Census, SF1

DRAFT PLEASE DO NOT DISTRIBUTE OR REPRODUCE Trends in Educational Attainment of Persons in the Labor Force (25-64 Years of Age) in Texas by Race/Ethnicity – High School Graduates and Above Educational attainment by race/ethnicity in Texas suggests that adults of Hispanic descent are much less likely to have completed high school compared to other race/ethnic groups. Over time, the percent of persons of Hispanic descent who have completed high school has been increasing more rapidly than for other groups but even at this pace of change it will take numerous decades for Hispanics to achieve parity with non-Hispanics in the percent with a high school degree or greater.

Percent of the Civilian Labor Force (ages 25-64) by Educational Attainment for 2011, 2030 Using Constant Rates, Texas The educational attainment of the Texas labor force was projected using two assumptions. 1) The first assumption (represented by the red columns) is that educational attainment by race/ethnicity and sex would remain the same as it was in 2011. Thus the changes we see in educational attainment in this projection are due only to changes in the racial/ethnic composition of the population (driven by increasing Hispanic population and a leveling of growth among the non-Hispanic white population). Under this scenario, we would see increases of the percent of the labor force with lower levels of education and declines in the percent of the labor force with higher levels. 2) Under the second assumption (green columns) the trends observed in improving educational attainment are projected forward and applied to the projected population by race/ethnicity and sex. Thus the generally positive trends we have noted in improving educational attainment are assumed to continue into the future. The result of this projection suggests that we will see declines in the percent of the labor force with lower levels of education and increases in the percent of the labor force with higher levels of education. These should be going DOWN These should be going UP Sources: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey, 1-Year PUMS.

Demographics and Destiny Texas is growing – with more people being added than in any other state we added 4 additional seats to our representation in the U.S. Congress. Texas is becoming more urban. Many rural counties are losing population. Urbanized metropolitan areas have been growing dramatically over the decade. Texas is becoming more diverse – much of our growth is attributable to growth of the Hispanic population.
