​​​Numeric Population Change by County and Municipio

WASHINGTON – Six of the ten counties with the largest population gains this decade were in Texas, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s ne​wly released July 1, 2019, population estimates.

Harris, Tarrant, Bexar, Dallas, Collin, and Travis Counties had some of the largest numeric population gains since 2010. 

On the list of top ten fastest growing counties by percentage since 2010, Texas had more counties than any state. Hays, Comal, Kendall, and Williamson all made the list. 

Over half (53.6 percent) of U.S. counties​ were smaller in 2019 than they were in 2010. Most small counties lost population this decade while most large counties gained people.

The Census Bureau’s estimates provide data for the nation’s 384 metropolitan statistical areas, 542 micropolitan statistical areas, and 3,142 counties.
