Growth rate is similar, but Texas added 100K more people. And, virtually all the growth is in it's four major metros which are in relative close proximity to one another.
Austin distance to:
Dallas - 196 miles
Fort Worth - 188 miles
Houston - 165 miles
San Antonio - 79 miles
Almost everyone in Texas lives in the area in and between these cities which is not a huge area.
No one here has said Florida's growth isn't impressive. It just doesn't make sense to say Florida's lesser growth is somehow more impressive. It screams of "homerism", or possibly trolling.
