Best In Texas Real Estate™: San Marcos-New Braunfels

San Marcos-New Braunfels is the top source of out-movers to Travis County — 2,946 households relocated there in 2022–23, according to ALEX Intelligence’s analysis of IRS migration data. This is not a sign of decline, but a signal of deep regional integration: residents are moving strategically within the Texas Central Corridor, seeking affordability while maintaining access to Austin’s economy. The data reveals a new migration logic: not escape, but optimization. Photos via Wikimedia Commons: Slide 1: Larry D.
