A PRV EW OF THE TEXAS ECONOMY FROM THE OrFICE OF GLENN HEGAR TEXAS COMPTROLLER OF PUBLIC ACCOUNTS
GoneoTexas: Migratio
WHO'S COMING Nl WRFP
THEY'RE GOING
If you live in a Texas city, you've probably seen endless
highway projects and a skyline dotted with cranes.
People are drawn to Texas for jobs, a low cost of living
and a high quality of life. Our natural resources and
central location in the country, adjacent to the sea
and on a national border, have helped create and
sustain competitive advantages in transportation,
energy, wholesale and retail
trade and more.
Of course, there's nothing new
about this. People have been flocking
to the Lone Star State since its inception.
But who's coming, and where do they
end up?
A deeper understanding of Texas migration
patterns can help us understand current trends - and
plan accordingly.
A HERITAGE OF FAST GROWTH
Texas has been a fast-growing state for more than a
century, growing more than twice as fast as the U.S. as
a whole (Exhibit 1).
