As Texas’ population soared, the Lone Star State’s housing stock exploded, driven by significant gains in Collin and Rockwall counties.
Many of the nation’s tollways operate in a handful of states. Unlike other states, Texas lags behind in toll discount programs.
North Texas’ rapid population growth has pressured a housing market long lauded for its affordability compared with other major cities. New Census data shows how a boom in housing development is affecting Dallas-Fort Worth’s growing workforce.North Texas’ Celina topped the list of fastest-growing cities in the nation with a population of 20,000 or more. The town’s population grew by 26.6%, more than 53 times that of the nation’s growth rate of 0.5%.
Texas’ 12.4 million housing units trailed California’s 14.8 million units, as Harris, Travis and Collin counties were three of the top five U.S. counties that led in housing unit gains.Unlike Dallas County’s most developed land, communities in Collin County like Celina, Princeton, Prosper and Anna have more untapped — and likely cheaper — land that allows for more rapid development, said Ashley Brundage, the CEO of Dallas Habitat for Humanity.
