Spring area growing, getting younger The population of the Spring and Klein area grew from 2019 to 2023, has gotten younger and is earning more money, according to new data from the U.S. Census Bureau. The overview The U.S. Census Bureau released new five-year data for 2023 on Dec. 12 as part of its American Community Survey, which represents a five-year estimate of the population across the country from 2019 to 2023. This data compares with the 2018 study results, which studied geographic regions nationwide from 2014 to 2018.
