Interactive Population Density Map

Source: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year Estimates, 2020-2024 and 2024 Vintage TIGER/Line files.

Ever wonder how the degree of population density differs from one area in your community to another or across the state? Population density is typically expressed as the number of people per square mile of land area and allows for a broad comparison of settlement intensity across geographic areas.

Check out our interactive map to explore how population density is distributed by MSA, County, Tract, Block Group, Place, School District, and ZCTA geographies in Texas. Our tool uses the latest American Community Survey 5-Year estimates and TIGER/Line data from the Census Bureau.
