## What is different about Crandall?
- The Census Bureau's July 1, 2025 estimate for Crandall is 7,730 people, up 101.3% on the 2020 estimates base of 3,840. The largest one-year change was +1,820 people, from July 2024 to July 2025. July 1 estimates in between: 4,260 (2021), 4,625 (2022), 4,994 (2023), 5,910 (2024). (Source: https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/popest/datasets/2020-2025/cities/totals/sub-est2025_48.csv)
- Crandall covers 7.0 square miles of land (Census 2025 Gazetteer). That works out to about 1,099 residents and 210 occupied households per square mile of land, with roughly 5.2 residents for every Crandall household. (Source: https://www.census.gov/geographies/reference-files/time-series/geo/gazetteer-files.html, https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/popest/datasets/2020-2025/cities/totals/sub-est2025_48.csv, https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/summary_file/2024/table-based-SF/data/5YRData/)
- The Crandall mailing area is bigger than the city: ERCOT lists 2,264 competitive homes under the Crandall postal city, 1.53 for each of the city's 1,475 Census households. Because Crandall has grown 101 percent since the 2020 base, the ACS 2020-2024 household figure likely runs behind today's count.

- Oncor delivers to 3,564,530 competitive homes in all; the 2,264 with a Crandall address are 0.06 percent of them, roughly one in 1,574. (Source: https://www.ercot.com/misapp/GetReports.do?reportTypeId=203)

- On October 5, 2026, ERCOT showed 184 home meters switched off (de-energized) in the ZIP codes most Crandall homes use, against 2,263 switched on; that 7.5 percent is mostly vacant houses and apartments between occupants. (Source: https://www.ercot.com/misapp/GetReports.do?reportTypeId=203)
