Our Woodlands. Our Future.

Population

Currently, there are over 112,000 residents that call The Woodlands home. When The Woodlands was owned by Mitchell Energy & Development, the community was once projected to reach up to 180,000 residents. This was due to the high mortgage rates when more multifamily residences were anticipated. The Woodlands is now projected to be just over 130,000 residents at buildout. The graph above was plotted using data from The Woodlands Community Facts.

Ian McHarg did wonderful work studying the environmental issues on the whole 25,000 acres. We did such a good job that HUD then used the plan that we had as an example for other projects in the country. The concept would be 7 villages, totaling 125,000 people.
