About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the San Antonio population over the last 20 plus years. It lists the population for each year, along with the year on year change in population, as well as the change in percentage terms for each year. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population change of San Antonio across the last two decades. For example, using this dataset, we can identify if the population is declining or increasing. If there is a change, when the population peaked, or if it is still growing and has not reached its peak. We can also compare the trend with the overall trend of United States population over the same period of time.

San Antonio, TX - Resident Population in San Antonio-New Braunfels, TX (MSA) was 2763.00600 Thous. of Persons in January of 2024, according to the United States Federal Reserve. Historically, San Antonio, TX - Resident Population in San Antonio-New Braunfels, TX (MSA) reached a record high of 2763.00600 in January of 2024 and a record low of 1719.26200 in January of 2000. Trading Economics provides the current actual value, an historical data chart and related indicators for San Antonio, TX - Resident Population in San Antonio-New Braunfels, TX (MSA) - last updated from the United States Federal Reserve on July of 2025.

As recommended by the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) to ensure consistency across all HHSC agencies, in 2012 DFPS adopted the HHSC methodology on how to categorize race and ethnicity. As a result, data broken down by race and ethnicity in 2012 and after is not directly comparable to race and ethnicity data in 2011 and before.

The population totals may not match previously printed DFPS Data Books. Past population estimates are adjusted based on the U.S. Census data as it becomes available. This is important to keep the data in line with current best practices, but may cause some past counts, such as Abuse/Neglect Victims per 1,000 Texas Children, to be recalculated.
