Texas: The Booming Heart of the South
Why Texas is Thriving
Texas accounted for 87% of U.S. population growth in 2023, per Census data, and that momentum hasn’t slowed in 2025. With a business-friendly climate, no state income tax, and a diverse economy spanning tech, energy, and agriculture, Texas is a magnet for growth. From small towns to sprawling metros, cities across the state are seeing unprecedented development, making it a prime market for innovative construction solutions like SteelBuilt Direct’s steel buildings. Here’s a look at Texas’s top booming cities—both the fastest-growing and the largest—and why steel is the future of building here.

The Boom
Just north of Austin, Georgetown, Texas, is the poster child for rapid growth. Frequently ranked the fastest-growing U.S. city with over 50,000 residents, Georgetown’s population is nearing 100,000, driven by its proximity to Austin’s tech hub, affordable housing, and quaint downtown charm. Businesses and developers are flocking here, creating demand for versatile, cost-effective structures.
