More people moved to the Houston, Texas area in one year than to any other metropolitan area in the United States. The U.S. Census Bureau recently released information about the growth of America’s cities in 2015. It noted that five metropolitan areas in Texas -- Midland, Odessa, Austin, College Station-Bryan and Houston -- are among the 20 fastest-growing areas in the country. Texas gained almost a half-million new residents from July 2014 to July 2015. That is more than any other state. Many people have also moved to Atlanta, Phoenix, New York and Los Angeles. The Census Bureau reported that Los Angeles County has more than 10 million people. It leads the nation’s 3,100 counties. Metropolitan areas in Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina are also growing fast.
