## What is different about Aledo?
- Aledo counted about 7,122 residents in the Census Bureau's 2025 estimate, against 4,861 in the 2020 base, a change of +46.5%. The largest one-year change was +477 people, from July 2021 to July 2022. July 1 estimates in between: 5,380 (2021), 5,857 (2022), 6,277 (2023), 6,650 (2024). (Source: https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/popest/datasets/2020-2025/cities/totals/sub-est2025_48.csv)
- Aledo covers 2.9 square miles of land (Census 2025 Gazetteer). That works out to about 2,493 residents and 623 occupied households per square mile of land, with roughly 4.0 residents for every Aledo household.

- Mailing addresses stretch past city limits here. 3,225 competitive residential meters use Aledo as their postal city, while the city itself has 1,779 Census households, a ratio of 1.81. Because Aledo has grown 47 percent since the 2020 base, the ACS 2020-2024 household figure likely runs behind today's count.
