It is 280 miles down from I-35 from DFW to San Antonio, with Austin, Waco, and Killeen in between them. In those 280 miles, Texas added 265k people last year. If you go 165 miles east of Austin and include Houston, the other end of the Texas Triangle then the Triangle added 405k people. The Triangle is smaller than Georgia or Florida in area BTW.
All of Florida added 365k people last year, Texas as a whole added 473k people last year. Both states grew by the same 1.6% growth rate last year.

Both states are impressively growing but I believe they're talking about the land mass of both states. Florida is much smaller than Texas and landlocked on multiple sides yet still having the same growth rate. When you look at regions like Miami-Dade, they cannot expand or sprawl like Texas cities do. Even Orlando is reigned in from conserved land, albeit still sprawly.
