1. How many are the homeless?
2. How many are Californians moving back since Austin is too conservative for them?

Exactly, now if you talk some shite about George Strait or Hill Country then they're willing to meet you at Sonic.

Housing prices there are still high as a camel’s pussy so still need some more “outmigration.”

Also might have something to do with the new found willingness to enforce immigration laws.

that says ATX, RR & Gtown

I would be curious to see how many people moved INto
Cedar Park, Liberty Hill, Driftwood, & Hays County over that same time span

I have my doubts they actually left central texas, more than likely they couldnt pass up selling their home in a hot market and just moved out to the hill country as they approached retirement

Maybe, but I don't think that's tech bros. Tech bros are probably returning to their blue enclaves partially because of BabyTac's beloved RTO mandates. They figured out that they can't commute in Austin traffic from their palace in Bastrop or wherever and needed to either spend the same amount of money on a shitbox North of UT's campus or leave.

Austin used to be such a great city. Just overcrowded and overpriced now.

It has been experiencing a population explosion since Covid

Probably just stabilizing

Been there twice since the comedy scene blew up, dumped a ton of money there

May go back this summer

Is this one of those stats where people are “leaving Austin” but are really just moving to other places in Travis county like Pflugerville and Round Rock

It is also spreading.. up to hutto ( home of the fighting hippos). Down to Bastrop and dripping springs..

The tech companies ( ai etc)… are looking at places a little farther out of downtown to build new centers.

No one in Texas outside of Austin loves Austin. Now it appears people inside of Austin have figured that out as well.
