Whoa, Texas!

According to press release published yesterday by the U.S. Census Bureau:

"Four Texas metro areas together added more people last year than any state in the country except for Texas as a whole, according to new U.S. Census Bureau population estimates released today. The population in these four metro areas increased by more than 400,000 people from July 1, 2014, to July 1, 2015."

In short, the population of Texas has grown by nearly a half a million in just a single year!

That's quite impressive growth. I'd love to hear what you believe is driving these gains, how long you think it'll keep up and how these numbers are influencing your investment decisions.

They say don't mess with Texas, but apparently, people are messing with it. A lot.

Texas is pro-business, pro-military, right-to-work state.  Plenty of room and relatively low cost housing to fit the budget.  Why wouldn't you?
