Census data: Texas continues to grow, but people are moving here at a slower rate

Texas gained more new residents last year than any other U.S. state, recently released U.S. Census Bureau data shows. Yet the Lone Star State’s overall population growth slowed significantly amid a nationwide reduction in immigration from other countries.

The big picture: Texas grew by 391,243 residents in 2025, bringing the state’s total population to 31.7 million. This includes:

  • Domestic migration: Over 67,000 people moved to Texas from other states.
  • International migration: Over 167,000 people moved to Texas from other countries.
  • Natural change: There were roughly 157,000 more births than deaths in Texas.

The state grew by 1.2% from July 1, 2024, to July 1, 2025, which is more than twice the national growth rate of 0.5% in the same period. This marks a slowdown in Texas’ growth since the COVID-19 pandemic.

Worth noting: Suburban communities outside the state’s urban population centers, such as cities and towns in Montgomery, Tarrant and Williamson counties, saw the most growth due to migration in recent years, according to data from the Texas Demographic Center.
