Census: Fastest Growing Cities are in Texas

The US Census Bureau released its Vintage 2025 population estimates for towns and cities today. The report reflects data from the July 1, 2024 and July 1, 2025 period.  Not surprisingly, Census found that the cities with the largest percentage increases in population during this period were all in Texas. We note that for the purposes of this exercise, Census defines US cities as those with populations of 20,000 or more. The picture is similar for pure numeric rankings. Of the cities to see the largest numeric increase in population during the reference period, Texas cities ranked second, third and fourth, while Charlotte, NC took the number one spot and Seattle, WA number five.
