2020 Data Visualizations

The latest state-to-state migration flows data from the U.S. Census Bureau reveal over half a million people moved to Texas from other states in 2019, among the highest in-migration flows of all U.S. states, second only to Florida.

The Texas Demographic Center (TDC) produces annual population estimates for Texas and its counties and places. Population estimates are often used to allocate funds and resources to state and local governments. The TDC uses three methods to produce population estimates: ratio-correlation, component method II, and housing-unit method. The TDC relies on state agencies and local governments for much of the data used in these methods. The types of data used in these methods are described below.
