Trae Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Well, not yet, but close. As of January 1st of this year, it was at an estimated 82,000 (it was 38,000 in 2000). When will Pearland reach that 100,000 landmark? Also, aren't Sugar Land, The Woodlands, and Baytown already at, or close to 100,000?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great Hizzy! Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Baytown... no. Baytown's growth has been fairly stagnant over the last 20 years. It's probably no better than 70,000 now, although I know nothing of any recent annexations that might have added to the overall population.

TheNiche Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Baytown... no. Baytown's growth has been fairly stagnant over the last 20 years. It's probably no better than 70,000 now, although I know nothing of any recent annexations that might have added to the overall population.Baytown tends to annex incrementally and in small amounts, for instance to make a tax credit apartment project legally permissible. But they have been growing in recent years, as single-family projects have been developed. ...not like Pearland, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxman Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 The Woodlands and Sugar Land are approaching or are at 90,000. I don't know about the others. I know The Woodlands master plan calls for 152,000 people. However, I think it will be far more. Same with Sugar Land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trae Posted August 11, 2007 Author Share Posted August 11, 2007 So, by the 2010 Census, Pearland should be above 100,000? I like how Houston's suburbs are starting to get bigger. Doesn't make the city feel so alone anymore. I saw a map onetime, and only half of League City is development. The other half is treeless prairie. League City is already at 68,000.

Trae Posted August 11, 2007 Author Share Posted August 11, 2007 Do you think areas like Cinco Ranch and unincorporated North Katy could be released by Houston to let the City of Katy annex it? Houston did it once with Katy Mills, so maybe they could do it again. A new city of 200,000 would spring up right there.Amazing growth in Pearland though. The reason it is 1st in the Houston area is because all other growing areas are not incorporated like Pearland (luckily) is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citizen4rmptown Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 well, in 2006 PASADENA is over 150,000 http://money.cnn.com/magazines/moneymag/bp.../PL4856000.html so, by now it shuld've already added 1,500 to 5,000 So competition for Houston Area's Second Largest City has quite a catching up to do..

Trae Posted July 7, 2008 Author Share Posted July 7, 2008 Once Sugar Land does its annexation, it will become number two. Then when The Woodlands becomes a city, it will take the third spot I'm thinking. Or Pearland takes that spot.But damn, if the areas that use "Katy, Texas" as an address was a city, that's 250,000 right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
