Austin MSA

Austin MSA’s in-migration growth is flat—just 0.1% year-over-year change in households moving in, according to ALEX Intelligence’s new data. This isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s the market reaching equilibrium after a decade of explosive growth. The real story isn’t new arrivals, but the stability of existing residents and the slow pace of new construction. This data, drawn from IRS county-to-county migration flows (2021-22 to 2022-23), shows that demand is no longer being driven by population influx but by retention and renovation. https://alex-companies.com/data/2026-10-13-austin-msa-mig-trend-in-total Year-Over-Year Change in Households Moving In, top 10 (ALEX Intelligence — U.S. Internal Revenue Service 2023) #1 Williamson County, TX — 585 #2 Hays County, TX — 358 #3 Bastrop County, TX — 195 #4 Harris County, TX — 95 #5 Comal County, TX — 84 #6 Hidalgo County, TX — 76 #7 Bexar County, TX — 63 #8 Tarrant County, TX — 60 #9 Fort Bend County, TX — 59 #10 Collin County, TX — 57 Photos via Wikimedia Commons: Slide 1: Nicolas Henderson from Coppell, Texas (CC BY 2.0) https://commons.wikimedia.org/?curid=121664448; Slide 2: smallcurio from Austin, TX (CC BY 2.0) https://commons.wikimedia.org/?curid=69209327; Slide 3: ajay_suresh (CC BY 4.0) https://commons.wikimedia.org/?curid=180480267; Slide 4: En el nido (Nest) (CC BY 3.0) https://commons.wikimedia.org/?curid=58044910 Source: https://alex-companies.com/data/2026-10-13-austin-msa-mig-trend-in-total View and join any or all of our communities — AI, quantum, and real estate: https://alex-companies.com/reports/linkedin-groups If there's an AI, quantum, or real estate community you'd like to see us convene, tell us — this portfolio grows by request.
