Texas migration patterns
analyzed in Fiscal Notes
In the October issue of Fiscal
Notes, the Comptroller’s office
examined Texas’ migration pat-
terns and the state’s biosciences
and biotechnology economy.
Of Texas’ total population
growth between 2010 and 2016,
migration accounted for almost
half of the moves to the Lone Star
State. But the migration pattern
varies with location: smaller cit-
ies received the majority of their
new residents from other parts of
Texas, and larger cities received
most new residents from other
states.
“Texas has been one of the
fastest-growing states practically
