Dominax Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 HoustonPopulation growth* 1,630,230* 1,752,345* 1,953,210* 2,009,129 posted last month in the past online* 2,012,606 this is what they have new online* 2,049,438 maybe the actuall residents todayHouston has gained up to over 500,000 within those ten years.But on EMPORIS.COM 2002 to early 2005 why did it only increased from 2,009,320 to 2,012,603. Only a 2,700 growth of those years of residents but why Houston and looking at other cities like Austin, Ft Worth and in other states grew morely up to 12,000 more residents.* Is this the possible Census 2005 population of residents. YES or NO!* Is the actuall population greater than it is shown online.* Are people willing to move somewhere else to slow down the growth of people.* Is it the Crimelog (arrested, losing lives)* Is it Weather Forecasts(Tornadoes, Floods, HEAT)* Is it too much consturction(Demolished buildings homes cause of freeways being built)* Just people moving into the suburbs* Is it too noisy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicMan Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 No, none of those reasons.The reason why San Antonio had such a large growth was because it annexed a bunch of suburbs, not because its actual growth rate was spectacular... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedScare Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 2,012,606 is the US Census estimate. It is for the date July 1, 2004, which is a 3500 increase over the 2003 figure. Most experts attribute the slower one year growth figure to a lag in job creation.COH Planning estimates Houston population at 2,060,000 as of Jan 1, 2005.

The Great Hizzy! Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 U.S. Census Bureau estimates can often be conservative, especially large sunbelt cities that are growing, mainly because the Bureau isn't able to completely gauge things like annexation, new/old housing sales and so forth. Additionaly, it doesn't track immigration as accurately as it might domestic migration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjb434 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 San Antonio does annexed subdivision much more than Houston does now.I much rather look at regional population growth than actual city growth.Houston does have a large region of growing population not within it's city limits.

The Great Hizzy! Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Seems the majority of the new housing stock inside the city limits is coming from the following places:1. Midtown/East End/West End/Fourth Ward townhome construction2. Heights tract housing/townhomes/apartments3. Suburban-style subdivisions in Alief/west Houston4. Suburban-style subdivisions in South Houston near the Beltway (along Cullen)5. Suburban-style subdivisions in SE Houston along Fuqua, Almeda-Genoa and others.6. Townhome/Apartment construction in SW Houston near Reliant Park (there has to be a couple thousand, if not more, that have been built in the last 3 or 4 years south of Loop 610.7. Suburban-style subdivisions as well as garden style apartment complexes in the once barren landscape of south Houston along 288 and just south of Bellfort Ave.I imagine there is some more new housing going up in the Kingwood area and maybe to a much smaller degree the Clear Lake City area but I have no idea where specifically or how much.But this also shows the difficulty the US Census Bureau has in trying to determine population growth, because they can't accurately measure how much of the new housing stock comes from people already living in the city and how much is coming from new buyers who didn't live in the city/county/region/state/etc previously.

houstonfella Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 You would be amazed at the North Belt and East Belt housing construction. Don't forget this area. It is growing very fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citykid09 Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 They need to change the Houston population signs that are along roads and freeways, there still in the 1 millions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YakuzaIce Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 They need to change the Houston population signs that are along roads and freeways, there still in the 1 millions.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Are they 1.9??? Becuause if so, they won't change them till 2010 census. Because these 2 mil+ are estimates, and estimate numers are rarely accurate. Though I am sure we are 2+ just not sure how much.

Guest Plastic Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 But how many do we have in our area? Some sources say 4.7 million some say 5.3 million.Everything fomr Conroe,to Fairfield,to Katy,to Richmond, Clear Lak,Baytown, Texas City,and Kingwood shoudl be consider The Housotn Metroploitan Area. Some consider Galveston, but that's a little far to be consider an area of Metro Houston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citykid09 Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 Sometimes I come to Houston and I see towns within the city that I never knew existed. Like on I-10 the Katy freeway, there are signs with Houstons population and city limits and then there are some little areas that are like there own town like near IKEA the area with the villages.

YakuzaIce Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 Well there are different ways to count metros I think it is MSA and CMA correct me if I am wrong. It also depends ion the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
