Texas is forecasted to have the third highest population growth rate in the U.S. this decade, with an estimated population of 32,463,602 by 2030.
The state is expected to experience an 11.4% increase from its 2020 population, trailing only Utah and Idaho in growth rates.
This increase could enhance Texas's political influence through more representation in the House of Representatives and Electoral College votes.
Several states, particularly Democratic-leaning, have seen population decreases, while Texas and other Republican states have recorded significant growth.
Experts suggest the robust Texan economy is a major driver for internal migration into the state, primarily from individuals seeking political representation.
