How many people live in Liberty Hill, and is it growing?
The Census Bureau estimates that 13,317 people lived in Liberty Hill on July 1, 2025, up 276.6% since 2020, faster than Texas (+8.8%). The 2020 Census counted 3,646 residents. The 2020-2024 American Community Survey, a five-year sample, puts the population at 8,371 (±20). The survey estimate is more than double the 2020 count: in a place this small the survey reaches a few dozen households, and a few of them can move the estimate a long way.
The yearly series starts from the Census Bureau's July 2020 estimate, 3,680, which differs from its April 2020 base of 3,536 (in 2020 the estimates dipped in many college and military towns), so the first step is large; the change since 2020 above is measured from the April base.

How reliable are the figures for Liberty Hill?
15 of the 57 figures for Liberty Hill on this page carry a coefficient of variation over 40% and are marked with a ring: they come from a small sample, so read them as rough.
The American Community Survey samples about one household in eight over five years, so every figure is an estimate with a 90% margin of error (shown under each value). A ring marks an estimate whose coefficient of variation is over 40%. A change is called only when the gap between the two periods is larger than their combined 90% margin (the square root of the sum of the two squared margins), the Census Bureau's test.
