Randolph Metrocom Community Introduction

What do you get when you combine affordable housing, excellent schools, parks and recreation facilities for all ages, fine dining and shopping, medical services, a variety of worship services and interconnecting suburban communities who share a common goal of economic development and unparalleled quality of life for their citizens?

Those ingredients make up what we call the Metrocom, a growing sector up the Northeast corridor from neighboring San Antonio heading up toward Austin. Each city in the Metrocom has its own identity but shares that common moniker of a “fun place to live and work.” The cities that make up the Metrocom are Cibolo, Converse, Garden Ridge, Kirby, Live Oak, Marion, Santa Clara, Selma, Universal City and Windcrest. We even have an unincorporated town called Bracken and of course we have Randolph Air Force Base as well.

POPULATION TRENDS
The following list details the population trends in the Metrocom Area for the years 2001-2009. This information was obtained from a 2005 study done by Survey Sampling, Inc., a national demographic provider.

As of the 2000 Census, the total population of the Metrocom area was reported as 207,891. Estimates for 2009 project a population of 247,621, reflecting a 10% increase.

The total number of households for 2000 was 73,483, and the 2009 totals estimate the number of households to rise to 94,074, or a 13% increase.

The total population is divided by gender as follows: for 2000, 48% female and 52% male; for the mid-year 2004, 49% female and 51% male; and estimated in 2009 to be 49% female and 51% male.
