ALABAMA - Ever since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Texas has been a popular destination for young professionals in search for better economic opportunities. This has created a significant increase in population, with the Lone Star State gaining 473,453 new residents in 2023, accounting for nearly 30% of all new residents in the entire United States.
Although many big tech companies have moved their headquarters from the West Coast to big cities in Texas, smaller cities have also gained new inhabitants as affordability is one of the perks that comes with living in a relatively smaller place.
