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

San Marcos-New Braunfels is losing 556 more households to Texas counties than it gains — a net migration deterioration confirmed by IRS data. Bexar County is now the top source of outflow, sending 323 more residents than the region sends back. This isn’t growth — it’s displacement. As affordability in San Antonio pressures residents, San Marcos-New Braunfels is becoming a temporary refuge, not a long-term destination. The data from ALEX Intelligence’s migration analysis shows a region at a crossroads. https://alex-companies.com/data/2026-11-04-san-marcos-nb-mig-trend-net Year-Over-Year Change in Net Migration, top 10 (ALEX Intelligence — U.S. Internal Revenue Service 2023) #1 Bexar County, TX — 323 #2 Harris County, TX — 102 #3 Bastrop County, TX — 74 #4 Fort Bend County, TX — 60 #5 Tarrant County, TX — 45 #6 McLennan County, TX — 45 #7 Hidalgo County, TX — 43 #8 Brazoria County, TX — 39 #9 Webb County, TX — 39 #10 Nueces County, TX — 28 Photos via Wikimedia Commons: Slide 1: Nicolas Henderson from Coppell, Texas (CC BY 2.0) https://commons.wikimedia.org/?curid=29652891; Slide 2: Nicolas Henderson from Coppell, Texas (CC BY 2.0) https://commons.wikimedia.org/?curid=121472105; Slide 3: Larry D.
