El Paso County Sees Significant Decline in School-Age Children Since 2020

Recent census estimates reveal that El Paso County has experienced a loss of nearly 12,000 school-age children (ages 5-18) from 2020 to 2025, marking a 6.6% decline. This trend is attributed to decreasing birth rates and an increase in families relocating out of the county. The Texas Education Agency reports a corresponding drop of about 10,000 in school enrollments across local districts and charter schools during the same period. The demographic shift is contributing to an aging population, with the median age rising by 1.1 years. The implications of these changes could affect local education systems and community planning efforts.
