385 Texas cities tracked. Sorted by composite momentum score (home prices, rent, population).
The state has 366 tracked cities with a 54/100 pop-weighted momentum. Bull case rests on the variance in the distribution — not every city moves with the average, and the top of this state's distribution is doing fine.
11 of 366 tracked cities are in the 'Declining' tier — that's a meaningful slice of the state, not a tail. The bear case is that the macro headwinds (out-migration, cost of capital, regional economy) compound rather than reverse.
