The Texas Demographic Center is pleased to announce the release of the first two of a series of special projections, the Household Projections and the Civilian Labor Force Projections. These projections utilize the TDC 2018 vintage population projections and the 2018 American Community Survey data and are produced at the state level and the county level. Our projections are intended as a means of understanding the potential impacts of population and demographic change on a range of household, socioeconomic, and health indicators for the State of Texas and its counties and regions.

To accompany the release of the data, We also produced a brief on the Texas Households Trends and Projections, and an infographic, Who Makes up the Texas' Labor Force: Past, Present, and Projected.

The Texas Demographic Center is pleased to announce the release of the 2019 population estimates. The TDC produces annual estimates of the total population of counties and places in the state. Estimates of county populations by age, sex, and race/ethnicity are also available. The TDC annual estimates aid state and local governments, policymakers, and other stakeholders to gauge the growth and demographic composition of the state, counties, and places. TDC estimates have also proven critical in the allocation of pandemic relief funding. [View Estimates]

Recent studies conducted during the pandemic have helped to identify subsets of the population most impacted by the coronavirus and the pandemic-induced economic recession. We use the recently released 2019 American Community Survey one-year estimates to understand Texas’s most vulnerable populations, their share of the population, and explore some of their pre-existing challenges, specifically around housing and food insecurity and health insurance status.
