Hispanic surge, metro area growth could reshape Texas’ political future

The 2010 census shows sharp population growth in Texas from 2000 — almost 4.5 million people, the greatest increase in the nation.

But according to Murdock, 90 percent of that growth comes from just five areas: Dallas-Arlington-Fort Worth, Houston-Galveston, San Antonio, Austin and the Rio Grande Valley.

Over the same period, 2000 to 2010, 119 Texas counties lost population, most of them in rural West Texas and the Panhandle.
