(WBAP/KLIF) — Newly released Census data shows four of the nation’s ten fastest-growing municipalities are suburbs of big cities in Texas.
That means the second-largest state in the U.S. could play a big part in the redistricting battle for control of congress. The new data pulled from the 2020 Census is coming more than four months later than expected due to delays caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
Joshua Blank with the “Texas Politics Project” says the state’s shifting demographics will be important elements to consider in the GOP-controlled process of redrawing political maps.
