Texas Cities Surge in Growth, With Kyle and Georgetown Leading the ChargeSource: Facebook/The City of Kyle, TX - Local Government

The Texas town of Kyle, a small blip once barely seen on the radar of the state's vast landscape has surged to become the nation's third fastest-growing city. Nestled snugly along the bustling Austin-San Antonio corridor, Kyle's population has mushroomed spectacularly, going from just over 5,000 souls at the turn of the century, to an estimated 57,000 in 2022. With a median home value of $220,100 and a median household income of $80,000 the city, has drawn a plethora of new residents without being the record holder for the most Kyles gathered at once, as reported by Houston Chronicle.

Not to be outshone, Georgetown, sitting at the heart of Central Texas, has captured the top spot as the state's fastest-growing city, swelling over 26% from 2020 to 2022, as cited by MYSA. A beacon for homeowners with 71% owning their dwelling spaces and a median property value of $360,000, Georgetown has also cultivated a diverse and educated community; nearly 100% of residents have at least a high school diploma and half boast bachelor's degrees.

Similarly, other Texas titans have emerged, such as the fresh-faced city of New Braunfels, landing at fourteenth in the national pecking order, with median household income pegged at $77,000 and median home values at $244,800, boasting nearly triple the residents since the year 2000, as per Houston Chronicle. In the northern realm of Greater Houston, Conroe flexed its muscles as a hubbub for affordable living and a business-friendly atmosphere, encapsulating a notable populace uptick to secure itself the twelfth rung nationally.

The growth phenomena spared no corner of the giant state with towns like Little Elm and Temple also earning their stripes on the national list, shining a light on attractions from lakeside leisure to hegemonic healthcare job markets adding to their magnetism for massive influxes.
