The Texas Demographic Center will release its updated county-level population projections on September 30, 2025. The data provides detailed projections of Texas' residential population by age, sex, and race/ethnicity for each year from 2020 to 2060 across all counties in Texas. These projections will be available under multiple migration scenarios.
To accompany the release, TDC will host a webinar on October 22, 2025 to walk users through the new data and methodology. This event will be a valuable opportunity to engage with the projections data and explore their implications for Texas communities.

Younger Texans are more likely to rent, while women living alone face some of the greatest challenges with housing affordability.
Explore our new visualization to see how these trends impact Texans across age, household type, and region.
