You're comparing different estimate sources and still ignoring that someone moving to round rock or ceder park is still a part of the housing pressure for the city of Austin.

A low-single-digit push to local burbs happened all over the country. "Austin" in the same way people discuss "Houston" or "Chicago" i.e. the local metro area has grown every year.

There are different sources (and I pointed that out), but they all show that the population has been at most flat.

The suburbs migration IS the point. The suburbs are a superior model when it's made possible by de-urbanization of workplaces, and it shows. The price in the suburbs of Austin has been growing.
