What El Paso's slowing population growth means for the city's future

from The El Paso Matters Podcast

Unlike the other major metro areas in Texas, El Paso is more spreading out than truly growing. And new projections published this week by Texas’ state demographer show, even in the most optimistic scenario, our population is likely to grow at a much slower pace than it did in the 1990s or in the 2000s. Bob Moore, the founder and CEO of El Paso Matters, joins the podcast to talk about his reporting on El Paso's stagnating population growth and what the city's elected officials can do to staunch the outflow of people from El Paso and reverse the city's demographic trends. You can read Bob's reporting at elpasomatters.org
