Posted this on the Texas thread, thought I'd put it here also:

Article out today by the IBJ, Houston's metro area projected to grow by 66.7% between now and 2040, from 6.6 million now to 11+ million by 2040.

Thanks to Slyfox for posting this link in the Houston thread. The article lists many Texas metros on here and their respective population projections. Here are they are:


Austin-Round Rock, TX
2015 Population: 2,000,860
2040 Projection: 3,971,820 (+98.5% change)

Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land, TX
2015 Population: 6,656,947
2040 Projection: 11,098,843 (+66.7% change)

San Antonio-New Braunfels, TX
2015 Population: 2,384,075
2040 Projection: 3,750,542 (+57.3% change)

Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX
2015 Population: 7,102,288
2040 Projection: 10,903,288 (+53.5% change)

McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX
2015 Population: 842,304
2040 Projection: 1,274,681 (+51.3% change)


So, my first thought is, "Wow!" That's some crazy growth. My second thought is that I don't see Houston passing DFW in population...but maybe I'm wrong.
