Texas Population Estimates Program

The Texas Population Estimates Program produces annual estimates of the total populations of counties and places in the state and estimates of county populations by age, sex, and race/ethnicity.


Population Estimate Methodology

The program utilizes an average of three methods for counties:

  • Ratio-correlation with births, deaths, school enrollment, voter registration, and vehicle registration.
  • Component-Method II
  • Housing Unit Method (four types - single family, 2-4 unit, 5+ units, mobile homes)

and an average of two methods for places:

  • Component-Method II
  • Housing Unit Method

For additional information on population estimate methodology, please refer to a year-specific methodology below.
