Quick Takeaways From The Deputy Sheriff Conversation

Real Estate News TV

I got some quick takeaways from a conversation I got to have with the deputy sheriff. So the deputy sheriff is the number two guy? Yep. And we happen to be at Dutch Bro’s on Sunday morning, right. And so we were up there and the place gets so busy that they have people directing traffic. And from what I understand, it would be people that are off duty directing traffic. And the guy happened to have a sheriff shirt on. Like, I’m going to go talk to the guy. And Sean was like, like, really? So I did. So I’m going to go ask him if he’s the actual sheriff or get specifics on why he’s wearing this. Yeah, what’s going on? So I talked I talked with a gentleman and come to find out he was not the actual sheriff, but he was with the sheriff’s department and he was a deputy sheriff. So had a nice guy, very, very nice, had a conversation with them all about it. And the first thing he tried to do was recruit me to work with him. And he was always recruiting, right? Yeah. And he was like, Oh, you go really enjoy the job and all those things. And I was like, Wait a minute. Yeah. No, I currently have a job. Thank you for the opportunity. And he said they are severely understaffed. Yeah. And they have massive, massive. Problems with hiring Kerry, And then he proceeded to tell me a couple of different facts, and he mentioned one of them, and it kind of stuck with me. And, you know, he said that Collin County is currently having an import of Collin County residents, buy 80 new people every single day. Every day. 365 days a year. And then I thought about that. So the sheriff covers the whole county, and I was like, Whoa, wait a minute. 365 days, 80 new people every single day. There’s 80 new people coming in. And at the same time, he also mentioned that there are 84 new jobs created every single day, 365 in Collin County. So the jobs are outpacing the jobs are outpacing the people that are coming here. So effectively, we have a lower unemployment rate every day because of that. And then I thought about the numbers, right? And I just wanted to share that. It’s it’s 30,000 people per year for a sustained amount of time that we’ve had. And it fluctuates a little bit between 80 and 82 and 85 people a day that have came in over the last decade. Collin County, just Collin County, 80 people. So think about all the homes that that has to be. So I do have some census data and I’ll pull that up and let us take a look at it. This is actually really good to follow. Yeah. And know where to find this information. So census data has this at 1.1 million people as of July of 2021. Just had a census. And then you look at that number and then you add 30,000 people to it at a minimum for this current year to get us to where we are now. And the number might be actually even larger or whatever. But if we take a look back and we look at 2010, you know, roughly ten years ago from this data and it’s seven 8782, that’s a huge growth. Yeah, right. It’s 400,000 people plus in a super short period of time. So it’s more than so it’s more than 30,000 people per year. And then if we think about that one just for a little bit, so we’ll go back over here and we’ll just talk about that number in particular. So think about the average household and how many people are in an average household. And there’s a lot of people that come in with, you know, on their own. So there’d be one person, right? Or two is a couple with no kids or whatever. But then there’s kids and whatever. So maybe it’s the average is three people per household, maybe four. But that means that you have to have at least 20 new places every single day. 365. Right. For people to live. That’s the type of growth that has to happen just to keep up. And then all of a sudden you hear a stat like new building permits have slowed down. Mm hmm. So if new building permits slow down, you can’t slow down too much before all of a sudden. I mean, that number really catches up with you every single day. Right. S --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/realestatenewstv/message
