*Data on Population and Households comes from ESRI Business Analyst and models ACS 2017-2021 data on irregular geographies that are not exactly aligned with Census Tracts and Census Blocks. The data in this table are ESRI’s estimates for 2022.
According to the Texas Demographic Center, Tarrant County is projected to grow at a CAGR of 1.5% from 2023 through 2045, adding more than 357,000 households to the County. The City currently comprises approximately 45% of the County population. If the City captures its fair share moving forward, this indicates approximately 160,000 new households in the City. The Eastside currently comprises approximately 9% of the city, which indicates the addition of approximately new 14,000 households over the same period. NCTCOG has projected population growth in the study area through 2045 and baseline projections show the strongest growth in areas adjacent to Downtown and along East Lancaster Avenue. While growth is projected to be stronger in certain neighborhoods, the range of growth rates is rather tight, indicated by relatively consistent and slow growth over the 22 years that the projections represent. The Transportation Analysis Zones (TAZs) in the study area are projected to grow by approximately 8,300 households by 2045. This increase in population represents a 28% increase over the 2022 estimates. This
