Texas could have a higher population than California in 2045

California had a massive drop in projected population since a reforecast in 2014 and the forecasted future population in Texas has been increasing. The newest combined estimates are that Texas could have more people than California by 2045.

If Texas continues to grow at the rate they grew in 2000-2010, then Texas would pass California’s population in 2045.

California used to have a projection of 60 million people in 2050 but that projection is now 50 million people in 2054.

Texas has some projections of 54 million people in 2050.

Currently the Texas Department of health and human services projects nearly 30 million people in Texas in 2019.

In 2050, California and Texas should be just over 25% of the US population. The US population is projected to be 400 million in 2058.

  1. U.S. will be at a projected population of 553 Million in 2050. So there’s no way U.S. will grow at a negative rate. So California could be 70 Million people trailing Texas, probably expected to have 55 million people.
    Population rankings 2050: 1. China (1.72 billion) 2. India (1.6 billion) 3. U.S.A (553 million) 4. Nigeria (412 million) 5. Indonesia (370 million) 6. Pakistan (298 Million) 7. Brazil (283 Million) 8. Bangladesh (229 Million) 9. DRC (190 Million) 10. Philippines (175 Million). None of the information I read in the article makes sense.

  2. Mind, as a consequence of that out-migration, California is now on track to effectively take over several neighboring, low population states, and so the smaller California will effectively have 6-8 votes in the Senate. It’s a sad bit of irony that people fleeing a bad situation take with them the values that created it, and end up recreating it where they flee to.

  4. Seems like BS to me. High Hispanic birth rate with high Hispanic immigration rate should equal to high population growth. And that is both for California and Texas.
