Texas continues to add more people than any other state.
U.S. Census data released this week show population growth in Texas between July 1, 2017 and July 1, 2018 was higher than any other state. The population in the Lone Star State increased by 379,128 in that span, bringing the state's total population to 28,701,845.
The data showed that Texas had more births than deaths over the time frame, and that the population was buoyed by new residents moving from both inside and outside the United States.
