Texas compared with its neighbors
States that share a land border with Texas (states that touch only at a corner are not counted). Every figure is an estimate from a sample survey and comes with a margin of error (MOE, shown as ±) at the 90 percent confidence level. Small differences between places, or between neighboring ranks, may not be real.
