New residents by county in the Houston metro, 2019-2021

Fort Bend and Montgomery counties added about three times as many new residents as Harris County did between 2019 and 2021. Liberty County's 9,000 new residents represented a 10% growth rate—the fastest in the area.

Other counties in the Houston metro area were not included in this ACS data release because they had populations below 60,000.
