The boom is back: More migrating to region
In 2006, more people moved to Central Texas from elsewhere in the United States than in any year since the tech bust.
Net migration into Hays, Travis and Williamson counties exceeded the levels experienced in the height of the tech boom in 2000, according to an analysis of 2006 IRS tax data by the Capital Area Council of Governments.
Total California migration to Travis, Hays and Williamson counties
Houston, San Antonio and other Central Texas counties continued to be the top sources for new residents in all three counties, but the number of people moving from California has increased significantly.
About 2,700 more people moved here from California in 2006 than in 2005, driven largely by lower housing prices and job opportunities.
