Move Over Chicago; Houston is Inching Closer

In this EXCLUSIVE, Houston’s population grew dramatically, moving closer to becoming the third-largest city as Chicago’s population continues to decline, according to Census Bureau stats.

Tucker Knight Knight said Houston is such a desirable place to live that he is surprised the population isn’t higher.

HOUSTON—The Census Bureau’s recently released population estimates show Houston’s population grew dramatically, moving closer to becoming the nation’s third-largest city, as Chicago’s population continues to decline. More people will point to the need for additional housing in an area that is already the nation’s third-largest metro in apartment absorption, according to Berkadia.

Will this inspire developers to begin building again, and will investors and businesses follow? In this exclusive, Tucker Knight, senior managing director, Berkadia, recently discussed what this latest population data might mean for the housing market in Houston.
