introduction by Lion John Nyfeler

Austin’s demographic story continues to revolve around three major themes: long-term rapid job and population growth; profound diversification; and, stubborn socioeconomic separations. Robinson will present what he calls a “demographic snapshot of Austin” that features data issues based on his three major demographic narratives for the City and metropolitan Austin.

About our speaker:

Ryan is a native Austinite, graduating from Austin High and The University of Texas. After working with the state’s General Land Office under Commissioner Mauro for just over a year, he attended The University of Georgia in Athens where he got a Masters degree in geography and met his wife.

Ryan began his demographic career as an enrollment forecaster and boundary planner for a large, rapidly growing suburban school system in Atlanta during the mid-80s.

Ryan started working for the City of Austin as a demographer in 1990 and has directed their demographics workprogram since 1995.

His current professional interests include data mapping and interpretation, population change, and the rise and fall of American cities. Although always thinking about his next map, Ryan relaxes by riding his bike, swimming at Bartons or cooking something spicy for his family.
