San Antonio-New Braunfels MSA
2000: 1,711,703
2010: 2,142,508
#Chg: 430,805
%Chg: 20.11

+ Kerr County: 2,192,133 (in response to a question SKW asked recently, the commuter interchange rate between the Kerrville mSA and the SA-NB MSA is around 18% as of 2009)

Thanks. What does the percentage have to be to have them included in a larger CSA? Or would they be included in a SA-NB MSA?

Good work btw.

Also, one last question, when will SA start doing a 10 digit dial? Nashville is about to start doing it and they're a lot smaller population wise than SA.

It would have to be 20% interchange before the two could agree to become a CSA, but not until it reaches 25% would they be automatically combined.

Hays County
 

I hate to break it to you but San Marcos/Hays County isn't in San Antonio Metro....It's in Austin. That's not to say this whole area isn't becoming one inter-related region.

Yep, I know. Like I said at the top, I've included significant cities in surrounding counties outside the metro to show what's going on just outside the SA area. This also explains why Kerrville, F'burg, Uvalde, Pearsall and Three Rivers are on there.

Interesting that Alamo Heights, Olmos Park and Terrell Hills all lost population.

Doesn't surprise me much. There could be a few reasons for that; # of empty homes (foreclosed), empty nest (a house with 2 adults and 3 teenagers in 2000 now has only 2 adults,) homes getting larger (building homes on double lots, where there were 2 homes, there is now only 1,) etc.
I don't see any of the 3 gaining any significant population, even if AH adds more condos near UIW and OP adds more condos/townhomes near Hildebrand. Only hope would be if redevelopment of retail space along McCullough (in OP) or Broadway (in AH) would include residential above retail, but even that is doubtful. Its a shame considering that AH, TH and OP can net on the higher end of rents.

Where did you get the numbers from? The US Census website doesn't have anything more recent than 2009 estimates posted.

Texas State Data Center has tables of both county data and place data.

Thanks.


(And now I'm just typing extra words because I got a notice telling me that "Thanks" is not long enough. Hmmm...) :shrug:

Why would people be moving out of Alamo Heights and Olmos Park and Terrell Hills. I thought that was the place to be.

The rich are constantly getting a bigger piece of the pie, and those are expensive places to live. Maybe they're buying up adjacent land and creating bigger lots for themselves. Maybe grown children are moving out of their parents' houses and creating empty nests. Maybe the non-super-rich just can't afford to live there anymore.

I think its a combo of kids moving out and the replacement of single family houses with condos/townhomes that don't sell.

Or the numbers aren't accurate?

Could be the previous numbers were counting the populations high for some reason?

The previous numbers were only estimates, not hard physical counts. Estimates are nice, but they're mostly useless until the actual Census comes out, and it too will be useless if people don't participate in it. It's not that the numbers aren't accurate, it's that people are too lazy to sit down for 5 minutes and fill it out. The Census is sort of like voting/elections. You can't complain about the results if you don't participate in it.

What Jack and Keep-SA-Lame say is true. There are now two empty houses in my neighborhood that likely did not get any counts during the last Census. Our elderly neighbor passed away last year. She had been living there alone, but became ill and so she moved in with her son, but kept the house. Now that house is empty and waiting for its next use. My grandma also passed away, and my aunt was staying at her house for a while. She's since moved out, so the house is empty. So that's two houses across the street from each other that are empty because of uh, generational changes going on. Those houses will likely be purchased later on with at least 2 people living in each, maybe 3 or more. There was also another house on my street that was surely empty during the Census, so it too didn't have anyone to be counted. But then just today I noticed some people moving into it.

Sorry about your grandma, Kevin. Your neighbor too.

Now that all the census results are in, we know that the SA metro area has passed Cleveland, Cincinnatti and Orlando for 25th place in the MSA rankings. It had passed Kansas City two years ago for 28th place and is now less than 13,000 behind Sacramento for 24th.

Interestingly, Orlando had passed SA in population back in 2000, but would appear to have fallen victim to Florida's housing bust towards the end of the decade.

More of a long shot, but we are also 83,000 behind Portland. Granted, they added to their population too, but we both might surpass Pittsburgh by 2015.

OMB recently changed the automatic threshold from 25% to 15%, so a CSA should happen soon.
