Abstract

Early in the 20th century economies stagnated and populations dwindled in the Texas Hill Country. Over the past three decades, however, several Hill Country counties have experienced a remarkable reversal of demographic fortune, culminating in a notable influx of older migrants with wealth. This study documents this flow with census data for 34 counties in Texas Hill Country between 1965 and 1990. Correlation statistics show a close relationship between elderly inmigrant flows and economic resurgence in several counties. In particular, elderly in-migration rates were closely tied to increases in county income, as well as growth in the service, retail, and construction sectors.
