The Digital Divide Persists. While 99.1% of high-income households have internet access, only 88.1% of low-income households are connected. This gap, though seemingly small, highlights the continuing challenges lower-income households face in accessing internet services.

In Texas during the past two decades (2004-2024), the share of younger age groups (0–24) declined considerably, while that of middle-aged groups (30–44) kept relatively stable. The population is aging overall, as evidenced by the rise in older age groups (55+).

The median earnings of Texans with disabilities match their national peers through employment wages, whereas earnings for those without disabilities fell below the US in 2023. For Disability Pride Month, we honor the talent and contributions of the disability community in TX.

The world population hit 8.12 billion in 2025, up from 6.13 billion in 2000. It's projected to reach 10.23 billion by 2060. If Texas were a country, it would rank 53rd with 31.67 million people, a density of 46.8 per square kilometer, and a median age of 35.8.

The median household income has not kept up with the cost of housing in TX. Population growth, rising costs for building materials, and labor shortages have affected the supply of homes and increased their cost, making it difficult for many Texans to purchase and own a home.

We’re excited to share that Dr. Helen You, our Associate Director and Senior Demographer at the Texas Demographic Center, will be presenting at the 2025 AWBD Annual Conference on June 14. Learn more here:

More than half (55.1%) of the 11.26 million households in Texas are couple households, and a vast majority are married couple households. Opposite-sex, cohabitating couples comprise 6% of households, and same-sex couples make up less than 1% of households.

In 2023, nearly 70% of Texans under 35 rented their homes, while homeownership grew with age, peaking around retirement before declining again. A clear trend: renting when we're young, owning as we age.

This Memorial Day, we honor U.S. service members who gave their lives in defense of our country. Texas is home to over 1.4 million veterans, the largest veteran population in the nation followed by Florida and California.

The @uscensusbureau estimates show Houston, San Antonio, and Fort Worth ranked nationally among the top 5 U.S. cities for numeric growth from 2023 to 2024. Fort Worth surpassed the one million population mark, becoming the fourth-largest city in Texas.

The @uscensusbureau estimates show Texas leads the nation in city growth rates. Princeton tops the list with a 30.6% increase, followed by Fulshear (27%) and Celina (18.2%). 10 of the top fastest-growing U.S. cities are in Texas.

Asian-owned firms play a key role in Texas’ economy. In 2021, over 60K TX firms were owned by Asian Americans. They employed 539K people and paid more than $20B in wages. Top sectors include accommodation & food services, retail trade, and healthcare & social assistance.

Data from the U.S. Census Bureau highlights the rich diversity of Texas’ Asian population. From 2019–2023, Asian Indians were the largest group, with an estimated 544,641 residents, followed by the Vietnamese and Chinese (except Taiwanese) populations.

Population growth drove housing demand and costs in TX, raising median home values by 72% since 2013. Among the largest MSAs, Dallas-Ft. Worth-Arlington saw the highest percentage increase at 87%. Addressing housing affordability is crucial for the state's economic growth.

According to the @uscensusbureau, in 2022, the sectors with the most business establishments in Texas were led by Retail Trade, followed closely by Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services. These sectors are also two of the top employers in Texas.

In 2023, women living alone or without a spouse accounted for 37% of Texas households and faced a higher rental cost burden (spent >=30% of gross income on rent). Among these groups, 65% of single women and 62% of women without a spouse experienced rental cost burden.

The Texas Demographic Center projects the future Texas population by analyzing the trends in the components of population change. As fertility rates decline and the population ages, migration is expected to play an increasing role in driving future population growth.
