A Look Ahead: Population Projections for Texas and Its Counties Helen You Texas Demographic Conference Austin, Texas June 2019
Texas Population Projections Program • TDC produces biennial projections of the population of the STATEand all COUNTIESin the state by age, sex and race/ethnicity • The Cohort Component Model • Population(t+k) = Populationt + NatrualIncreaset (Birthst – Deathst ) + Net Migrantst(In-migt – Out-migt) • The components of population change (fertility, mortality, and net migration) are projected separately for each birth cohort (persons born in a given year)
TDC Population Projection Illustration Population 2010 (Ages 0 to 95+) - DEATHS[= Base Population * Projected Death Rates] + NET MIGRANTS [= Base Population * Constant Migration Rates] AGE +1 + BIRTHS[= Women 15 -49 * Projected Fertility rates] Projected Population for 2011 (Base population for 2012 projection)
Additions and Changes to the 2018 Population Projections • Top age expanded to 95+ • Separating NH Asians from NH Other • A total of 5 racial/ethic groups: NH White, NH Black, Hispanic, NH Asian and NH Other • NH Other includes “Two or more Races”, “American Indian”, “Pacific Islander”, and “some other races”) • New migration scenario based on the 2010 – 2015 migration trends • An additional step to “re-allocate” a child’s race/ethnicity • Project fertility by mother’s race/ethnicity • Allocate births based on historical patterns

County Projections • Births • Projecting age – race specific fertility rates for women at risk (female 15 to 49) by rural/urban status • Projecting race of the newborns • Deaths • Projecting age-sex-race specific mortality/survival rates • Net Migrants • Calculating migration rates 2010-2015 for each county • For smaller population groups (NHB, NHA, Other), collapse age groups • “Special” Population • Group quarter population, college and military population

Accessing our Projection Products • Data available for downloads at http://txsdc.utsa.edu/Data/TPEPP/Projections/ • Can be customized using the Population Projections Tool • Interactive maps athttps://demographics.texas.gov/Geography/Maps/Interactive
Limitations • The challenge of projecting the migration components • No simple good predictor • The problem of using “migration rates” migrants / residents at destination ? • The multiple migration scenario approach • Confusing to some users • Why 0.5? • How to define long-term and short-term? • May make sense at the state level, but how about county level? • One migration scenario every two years • Consistent with estimates and reflect the latest trend • Accelerated growth may not hold well in long-term horizon
Future Plans • Multiple migration scenarios if it helps users – call for feedback • One recommended scenario in which migration rates will be trended to start with county rate and then converge to group/region rates • Research better ways to project migration • Form a user review group • We will reach out to you • Please reach out to us, too!
Future Plans • “Special Projections” • School enrollment • Household, work force, • Poverty, disability, vehicle ownership • educational attainment • Obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, physician need
School Enrollment by Age and by Race/ethnicity2017 5-year ACS PUMS
School Enrollment Projection in Texas As the population in Texas grows, so will the number of students enrolled in schools; Enrollees will be more diversified; The increase in the socially disadvantaged minority population have important policy implications for the education system as a whole and for special programs offered at public schools; Projected enrollment by grade and public/private school will be available for download
