Population by year:
2019: 978,763
2020 high estimate for Jan 1 (996,369) - https://austin.culturemap.com/news/city-life/01-15-20-austin-population-explode-past-1-million-by-summer-2020/ https://austin.culturemap.com/news/city-life/01-15-20-austin...
2020: 961,855 (Census, low mark)
2023: 979,882
2024 (estimated high mark): 986,928
So yes, the population cratered from a high in early 2020. This brought down prices with a 2 year lag, as owners started to get rid of empty units. The prices will come right back up now, that the population is recovering.

- verall 1y agoYou're comparing different estimate sources and still ignoring that someone moving to round rock or ceder park is still a part of the housing pressure for the city of Austin. A low-single-digit push to local burbs happened all over the country. "Austin" in the same way people discuss "Houston" or "Chicago" i.e. the local metro area has grown every year.
- cyberax 1y agoThere are different sources (and I pointed that out), but they all show that the population has been at most flat. The suburbs migration IS the point. The suburbs are a superior model when it's made possible by de-urbanization of workplaces, and it shows. The price in the suburbs of Austin has been growing.
