I haven't checked the math on this, but I believe that Austin's population has been doubling every 20-25 years or so. Assuming that trend continues, we can expect 4 million people around 2035-2040. I believe that is in line with what demographers have been predicting.
If that is how it really plays out, it will be quite amazing. I don't think anybody can really picture what the metro area will look like with that many people.
