You would imagine with the wild amount of towers going up in downtown Austin that the city's population would be growing more than it seems to be.

For 2022, Travis county, of which the majority of Austin's city limits sits in, grew by 18,682 and the city of Austin proper only grew by 5,104 that year.
We don't have the city estimates for 2023 yet, but this year the entirety of Travis county is up by less than half as much as the previous year, by only 7,411 people. That's +0.56%. If the proportion from last year holds steady that would mean Austin proper barely grew at all.

This is the same trend for the rest of the Texas metros for sure where all the big growth is in the suburbs, but Austin is the one tossing up skyscrapers downtown left and right.
