Texas Counties Enjoy Fastest Growth in Housing Units
Recent report from the US Census Bureau on Housing growth, report linked below, tables pulled directly from the report:
Of the top 10 in the country, 5 are found in Texas. Hays (South / South West Austin) claimed the number 1 spot by percentage and Williamson (North Austin) claimed the 5th spot. Every major metro in Texas (Austin, San Antonio, Dallas - Fort Worth, Houston) had at least one county represented in this list as well as in the following table:
Table 3 shows outlying counties for MSAs that were analyzed. Here again, 5 of the top 10 for the United States were in Texas.
Worth noting 2 of the fastest growing regions are between Austin and San Antonio - New Braunfels. This region just had another billion dollar development announced for the region with a massive green energy project. Worth keeping an eye on.
