People still moving to Austin during the pandemic?
Austin Business Journal reports Austin has been the fastest-growing major city in the country for nine straight years, from 2010 to 2019.
And in July, a milestone was reached — the City of Austin estimated its population had hit 1 million. It’s the 11th city in the country to do so.

Across a five-county area, which includes Travis, Williamson, Hays, Caldwell and Bastrop counties, the growth is similar. An ABoR report said the area has seen a 21.5% jump in home sales compared to July 2019

I don't think no COVID or Ebola or even WW3 can stop the influx of people to Austin. It's one of those cities that has everything - good night/downtown life, amazing neighbourhoods, brilliant family friendly school districts and lots of space. And a rich technology sector to boost. And good restaurants. Other than the terrible 90F+ Texan weather, everything about Austin is fabbo.
