Stealing from Summer on tRant.
I checked the following schools: A&M, tu, UH, BU, TTU, OU, LSU
Houston
1. UH 95K
2. A&M 56K
3. t.u. 34K
4. Tech 11K
5. LSU 9K
6. BU 8K
7. OU 4K
Dallas/FW
A&M 41K
t.u. 30K
Tech 29K
BU 14K
OU 11K
UH 5k
LSU 5K
San Antonio
A&M 11K
t.u. 9K
Tech 4K
BU 2K
UH 2K
So there isn't a lot of educated people in SA.

The pop is 1/4 of Dallas or houston so the numbers work out

The Tu numbers don't shock me I'm actually surprised they aren't lower, so many cant wait to leave the state

Good point. I was thinking they were a little bigger.

That and they stay in Austin.

Not fair, you combined Dallas and FW
SA is bigger than DAL.

I think the San Antonio numbers are going to start going up rapidly in the next couple of years.

That's really misleading though. SA city limits incorporate a 60 mile radius
The Dallas metro area is still 4 times bigger pop density wise

Yeah San Antonio has ridiculously gamed that number. The city limits of San Antonio are essentially the Bexar County line, and Bexar County is a very large county in terms of physical size. You can see this for yourself: when you drive toward San Antonio you cross into Bexar county and then seconds later you hit the city limit sign. While still way out in BFE surrounded by fields! It's absurd. You practically just left Seguin but you are suddenly in "San Antonio" without a building in sight. If Houston did the same thing and expanded its city limits to the borders of Harris County it would have a higher population than Los Angeles and be second only to NYC.

How so? The fall of oil prices are probably going to keep Yankees and Californians from thinking twice about moving to Texas' Little Mexico. South Texas (Or North Mexico, depends how you see it
) has taken a hit from the energy downturn (Eagle Ford). Houston has been overrun already with nasty transplants but the fall of oil has slowed that down. I think any growth in Texas from here on out will depend on how fast oil can recover. Non Texans living in Texas suck.

Houston did sort of do the same thing as it annexed all surrounding communities as it grew.
Arlington, Plano, ect would all be Dallas if it had done as houston did

No kidding! Driving in from Houston, you first see the city limits sign almost as soon as leaving Seguin. Look around and you'll only find rural truck stops and open fields.
Driving towards Corpus, I always see the Now Leaving San Antonio City Limits sign and think to myself, "didn't I leave San Antonio a long arse time ago???"
Sometimes I wonder if they count the cows in some of those pastures as part of their population.

I remember the big stink when they annexed Kingwood.

Not nearly to the same extent. The population of Harris County is DOUBLE that of the city of Houston. The population of Bexar County is 1.8MM and the City of San Antonio is 1.4MM
All cities in the south and west have done a good deal of annexation but San Antonio is just on a whole other level.
The "San Antonio is bigger than Dallas" brag is disingenuous. The Metroplex has an order of magnitude larger population than San Antonio - Austin; it's just that the City of Dallas itself has a relatively tight corporate limit and even within that limit it has lots of donut hole "cities" that detract from the official population of the literal City of Dallas.

I'd be interested to see where most Ags end up outside of Texas or the South. My guess is financial types in New York or Chicago, or engineers in Canada working on fracking/pipelines.

Did you miss the other thread?
Top out of state cities.
San Fran 3.2K (Apple, Google, Cisco)
Washington DC 3.1 K (Army, US State, US House)
New York City 2.4K (Bloomberg, IBM, Citi)
Denver 2.4K (Lockheed Martin, Encana, Anadarko)
Los Angeles 1.9K (Dreamworks, Amgen, USC, SpaceX)

It would be nice to see where TCU falls, at least in DFW

I was going to say NYC, Chicago, and San Francisco because those cities have so many financial sector jobs and because Tech is booming / has boomed so big in the Bay Area and because Washington houses so many military and ex-military contracting and lobbying jobs.
Looks like I was mostly correct, except that I was wrong on Chicago. Surprising. I guess we just don't go to Chicago for some reason. It's a pretty darn cool town if you stay away from the south side.

TCU is a small school that attracts a lot of Californians who move back. I'd guess it is beneath OU, A&M, UT, and TTech.
