I looked at the most recent Census data, and this is what I found: Below is the Link to the Census Bureau. Please copy and paste the whole URL address. www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/brownsvillecitytexas,harlingencitytexas,missioncitytexas,mcallencitytexas,edinburgcitytexas,US/PST045219 Looks to me that Edinburg will make it to 100K. What does this mean to the city of Edinburg? Brownsville falls short by about 17K from 200K. Harlingen is lagging from 64k to 65k, Why?? Your thoughts?? Attachments:

The official US Census will be released later this year. If Edinburg reaches 100k this will extend Edinburg's ETJ from 3 1/2 to 5 miles. Will McAllen finally be land locked from expanding? Will this help Edinburg become a larger city than McAllen as far as land, and later even in population? I found the following information: How much territory is encompassed in a city’s ETJ? The extent of ETJ is generally dependent on the number of city inhabitants. With some exceptions, state law provides that: • in a city with fewer than 5,000 inhabitants, the ETJ is within one-half mile of the corporate boundaries • in a city with 5,000 to 24,999 inhabitants, the ETJ is within one mile of the corporate boundaries • in a city with 25,000 to 49,999 inhabitants, the ETJ is within two miles of the corporate boundaries • in a city with 50,000 to 99,999 inhabitants, the ETJ is within 3-1/2 miles of the corporate boundaries • in a city with 100,000 or more inhabitants, the ETJ is within 5 miles of the corporate boundariesTEX.

I totally agree with you. McAllen is pretty much land-locked everywhere except a tiny sliver to the Northwest. Edinburg is free to annex pretty far north. Unless McAllen starts growing UP into multi story apartment buildings, it's going to be in shrink mode as the population ages. |
