San Antonio tops list of newcomer gains once again

By the numbers: The city of San Antonio gained nearly 22,000 new residents from July 2022 to July 2023, per a Census report out Thursday.

• That puts our total population at 1,495,295 — just under that 1.5 million mark we've been creeping up to for some time now.

State of play: San Antonio remains the seventh most-populous city in the country.

• Meanwhile, Austin fell one spot to be the 11th-largest city, overtaken by Jacksonville, Florida.

Zoom out: Texas cities continue to experience high population growth, though.

• Fort Worth moved up a spot to become the 12th most-populous city.

What we're watching: Whether San Antonio overtakes Philadelphia to become the sixth-largest U.S. city in the coming years.
