This interactive map, produced by the Texas Demographic Center using the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2019-2023 American Community Survey and 2023 TIGER/Line files, depicts population density across Texas at multiple scales.
By selecting a geography in the top panel and zooming to any location, readers can compare how Texans cluster in the major urban corridors of the I-35 and I-45 triangles, disperse across the ranching counties of West Texas, or concentrate along the Gulf Coast.
The choropleth shading reflects residents per square mile, allowing quick visual assessment of settlement intensity. Use the legend and pop-up statistics to explore specific density figures and gain a nuanced understanding of where—and how densely—Texans live.
