San Antonio MSA
2026-11-14
San Antonio MSA ranks #4 in Texas on construction establishments — a sign of deep structural resilience. The 4,592 construction establishments in the San Antonio-New Braunfels metro reflect sustained confidence in long-term demand, even amid elevated mortgage rates. This is not a speculative boom, but a grounded expansion of the region’s physical housing infrastructure. How might this growing construction base affect supply, pricing, and affordability in the next year? The data comes from ALEX Intelligence’s proprietary analysis of U.S. Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2022, NAICS 23 (Construction), published November 14, 2026. https://alex-companies.com/data/2026-11-14-sa-msa-istand-23-msa
