A demographic trend favoring warmer, redder states continued between 2024 and 2025.
In fact, the largest of the red states led the way.
According to a Thursdaynews releasefrom the U.S. Census Bureau, Texas boasted the five fastest-growing cities in the United States in 2024-2025.
Using data on percentage growth between July 1, 2024 and July 1, 2025, the bureau ranked cities and towns with populations of 20,000 or more.
Celina, Texas, with a total 2025 population of 64,427, ranked first with an increase of 24.9 percent. Four other Texas cities followed: Fulshear (21 percent), Princeton (18.1 percent), Melissa (14.5 percent), and Anna (10.2 percent). Of those five, only Fulshear, a suburb of Houston, is located outside the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.
Texasalso featured three more fast-growing cities in the top 15: Forney, Hutto, and Greeneville.
Of course, larger cities struggle to keep pace with smaller ones when it comes to percentage growth. After all, the smaller the number to begin with, the greater a percentage change any numerical increase will produce.
Even on that front, however,Texasdominated the rankings.
On a list of cities with the largest numerical increase in population from July 1, 2024 to July 1, 2025, Charlotte, North Carolina led the way, followed by the Texas cities of Fort Worth, San Antonio, and the Celina. Houston came in sixth, with its fast-growing suburb of Fulshear right behind at seventh overall.
These latest numbers represent the continuation of an ongoing trend.
