Texas, located in the West South Central region of the United States, has a population of 23.9 million people, making it the second most populous state in 2007. The state’s population increased by 3.1 million people from 2000 to 2007, and is projected to increase to 30.9 million by 2025. This 1.4% projected annual growth rate compares to the projected national average of 0.8%. From 2006 to 2007 the state’s population grew by 1.7%. Per capita personal income in Texas was $37,006 in 2007, up from $35,058 in 2006. For 2007, this was twenty-ninth lowest in the country and $1,558 below the national average.
