Questions and comments

1. "0.8% of Americans nationwide claimed affiliation with the Islamic faith."

What is the relevance to this article?

2. What are "Austin's VC numbers"? It should be clear to an average reader.

3. "The Austin Symphony Orchestra performs a range of classical, pop and family performances and is led by Music Director and Conductor Peter Bay."

Does the name of the director/conductor really need to be listed? No.

4. "Austin also has many odd statues and landmarks, such as the Stevie Ray Vaughan statue".

If the statue of SRV is "odd" then the statement above is "stupid".

5. The "Austin area professional sports teams" table should start from 1972 and finish with 2019.

6. "The team left after the 2015 season."

Why?

7. "Precourt negotiated an agreement with the City of Austin to build a $200 million privately funded stadium on public land at 10414 McKalla Place".

Is the exact address necessary? No.

8. What exactly is the "Trail's private steward"? It should be clear to an average reader.

9. "As of 2018, all six of Austin's state legislative districts are held by Democrats."

Six out of ...?

On question #3 ~ since Peter Bay is notable, I think his name should stay. ~mitch~ (talk) 00:29, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
On question #7 ~ I don't think the exact address is necessary. ~mitch~ (talk) 00:31, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
On question #4 ~ I do find that statement odd. ~mitch~ (talk) 00:33, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
On question #8 ~ a trail's steward, trail steward. ~mitch~ (talk) 00:36, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

3. He may be locally know but not nationally/internationally.

8. I see: trail enthusiasts. I never heard of such an expression.

2020 Census Data

The 2020 Census Data is in. This resulted in Texas gaining two new districts, the 37th and 38th respectively. I was wondering if Austin hit the 1 million residents mark. As of 2019, they were very close with over 970,000. Not sure if there are any sources yet for this, but I expect them to turn up soon. Moline1 (talk) 21:30, 26 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Turn Texas Blue on Twitter tweeted that Austin, Texas has surpassed the 1 million residents mark. Not sure if the official Census data for this is out so we can get an estimate to source. They also stated that Fort Worth, Texas will likely pass the 1 million resident mark next year.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Moline1 (talk • contribs)
The Census Bureau here says that the data needed for redistricting will be released by August 16. It may therefore be a while before they release the official count for sub-state jurisdictions such as counties and municipalities. - Donald Albury 12:34, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect population data?

The 2020 population data may be incorrect. The article, which used the official Census data, has it as 961,855, but World Atlas has it as 988,218. What number is correct? https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/the-10-most-populated-state-capitals.html Moline1 (talk) 17:40, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The US census is, IMHO, the definitive source for US populations. We have no idea of where worldatlas got the figure they use. - Donald Albury 21:08, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Which makes sense. I don't know either. Also, I find it weird Austin actually lost population considering Texas as a whole is growing. Moline1 (talk) 04:22, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Lost population since when? As the popbox in the article shows, the city grew more than 20% since the 2010 census; if you mean that the census numbers are lower than the 2019 estimate, it could be that the estimate was too high, and it could be that the pandemic led to a census undercount. -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 13:13, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There was indeed an undercount. The Census Bureau themselves admitted to this. Moline1 (talk) 20:58, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
