If you come to town on a weekend you may think the population of Fredericksburg is exploding but in reality the number of folks actually moving here is happening a modest pace which I personally am glad to see. Slow steady growth is good, but no one who lives in a community wants to see the population double over night. When that happens too often the town looses the character that everyone was wanting to move there for in the first place. Fortunately Fredericksburg TX is just far enough away from the major metro areas of Austin and San Antonio that we are not likely to become a bedroom community of those Cities any time soon. Yet we are just close enough that if you need to make a run into the big city it is just an hour away.

Texas as a whole will see a large gain in population over the next 50 years, mainly in the larger metropolitan areas and expects an projected population of 51,040,173 people. That is an increase of about 43% !
