Austin is no stranger to growth, rapidly at that. According to a recent LinkedIn report, Austin's population is growing faster than you can say, "Howdy y'all," making it the city with the most newcomers in the U.S. this year.
The data compiled by LinkedIn was based on its 174 million U.S. users and showed that moves were most popular from April 2020 to October 2020.
Austin topped the list of 10 cities with the highest growth rates, charting that for every person to leave Austin, 1.53 people came in. Right behind Austin, Phoenix, Arizona, tracked 1.48 new residents for everyone that left.
Austin was also not the only Texas city on the list: Dallas ranked seventh, with 1.35 new residents for everyone that left.
Austin has received a number of accolades this year: The Wall Street Journal called Austin a "magnet" for jobs, it was named the second-highest college town in the U.S. and the number one tech town in the U.S.
Most residents are coming from big cities, looking for a break from the high costs of living and taxes that large metro areas are famous for.
Plus, everyone is doing it, with major celebrities, like Joe Rogan and James Van Der Beek, and major companies, like Tesla and Oracle, announcing moves to Austin.

Atop one of Austin's signature rolling hilltops, 1501 Ridgecrest Drive is similar to one of the plush palaces that one might find in Calabasas. For $10.9 million, the home has four bedrooms, four-and-a-half bathrooms and caps at 10,498 square feet.
Park in the massive, fully air-conditioned garage before walking in, where you'll have eight full spaces to park your collection of cars. If you're not a collector, the garage makes an excellent studio space.
The wide-open living spaces will draw your eyes to the two-story ceilings, glass catwalk, integrated fireplace and wall of floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the pool.
Though the house was built in 2011, it doesn't show its age. Sleek, clean lines lead seamlessly from the formal living area to an elite open-plan kitchen. Separated by a 25-foot waterfall island that can seat at least eight people, the kitchen is fitted with only the finest Miele and Subzero appliances. The custom cabinets are just as pricey as the rest of the place, finished with custom high-gloss Aston Martin (you read that right) paint.

Upstairs in the sprawling master's suite, there are enough amenities to never have to set foot outside again. Armani tile floors, space for living and a walk-in showcase closet lead into the resort-style bathroom, where you'll find dual vanities, a walk-in shower and a lounging bathtub.
The bedroom is a quick elevator trip away from the "party" room, complete with a bar, wine room and movie theater, only the best for entertaining. If your guests are staying over, rest assured they'll be comfortable with the kitchenette, washer and dryer and spa-like bath in their suite.
Though summer has passed, you can still enjoy the grand lap pool's unobstructed Hill Country views, many private lounging areas, grill a homemade snack at the outdoor kitchen or shoot some hoops at the newly-added court.
The listing is held by Compass' Gary Dolch.
