If You Build It, They will Come! By 2050 about 35 million, people or 85% of the population of Texas, will live in the four metropolitan areas that compromise the Texas Triangle. Three of the nation s 10 largest cities are in the Triangle, including Houston which has a part that handles for foreign tonnage than any other U.S. port. Principal Cities: Austin, Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio Population in 2010: 21,373,727 Percent of U.S. Population: 6% Population in 2030: 29,660,265 Population Growth: 32%

.They Will Come! Estimates indicate that 1,800 people a day move to Texas. That equates to 14 people a day, or 5,091 a year in our region. That equates to 1,826 new houses in our region. That equates to 3,251 new cars each year on local streets in our region. That equates to over 1,714 new students each year in our region. That s two new 4A Districts a year, in our region!

Census 2020, Why is it Important? The Central Texas Region has been historically undercounted during the census. Since 1995, CTCOG has represented most of the entities in the region to validate mapping and local addresses. The last two census cycles (2000 and 2010) resulted in a documented increase of between 2% and 10% in population. Based upon conservative estimates, this equates to an average of $3.5 million annually or over $70 million dollars of additional funding over the twenty year period.

Census 2020, Whats so Hard? The first cycle we provided assistance, the US Census only gave 14 days to update the address files. Our region spans seven counties covering a land area larger than six U.S. States. We challenged the time frame, interesting story!

Census 2020, What did we do? First, we provided education to our local governments on what an undercount would mean. Second, we offered to review the census materials for errors and omissions. We used 9-1-1 address files the first cycle and added Digital Map Comparison in the second cycle. Third, we convinced our Board that the initiative was in the best interest of the region and should be covered with in-house funds where possible (9-1-1, local) and asked each entity to sign an Interlocal Agreement with a not to exceed amount for any cost beyond our ability to cover.
