Buda ‘breathes easy’ as fastest-growing city with 10,000 in Texas

​​​BUDA - ​The City of Buda grew 77.9 percent between 2010 and 2015, according to the Texas State Data Center, making it Texas’ fastest-growing city with a population of at least 10,000. 

As of Jan. 1, 2015, the city had a population of 12,979.

The city issued 398 single-family home permits and 302 multifamily unit permits in 2015. To date in 2016, the city has issued 70 single-family home permits.

"With roughly 150 people moving to the Austin metropolitan area each day, Buda is an attractive location since our city provides ample employment opportunities in a diverse range of industries, a great quality of life, and a low cost of living," said Ann Miller, director of Buda Economic Development Corporation. 

"Over the next few years, I anticipate the southern portion of the Austin metro to continue to grow substantially as there are still large undeveloped tracts of land in this portion of the I-35 corridor."
