The government agency released the latest American Community Survey five-year estimates for 2014-18 on Dec. 19. The information “helps local officials, community leaders, and businesses understand the changes taking place in their communities,” according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
Keller
Keller saw its population swell from about 40,872 people to 46,175 people, according to 2013 and 2018 five-year estimates.
Residents who identified as white, either alone or in combination with another race, comprised the biggest demographic group by race in both 2013 and 2018, increasing in number from 38,168 to 42,024 in that time span, according to ACS estimates.
