Texas is on track to overtake California and become the most populous state in the Union by 2045 , according to a report published earlier this month by real estate company Realtor.com .

Based on a combination of U.S. Census Bureau figures and its own data, the report predicted Texas ' population will hit 42 million that year .

Texas has seen its population swell over the past decade with residents increasing by nearly four million between 2013 and 2023 .

A particularly notable source of internal migration has been California , with 102,000 people moving from the Golden State to Texas in 2022 alone.

Texas has already picked up two additional seats in the House of Representatives and two new Electoral College votes following the 2020 U.S. Census.

As both are awarded on the basis of population, if the Lone Star State continues outperforming national population growth then it will see its influence increase further.

The state's growing strength could increase tensions with the federal government.
