San Antonio is almost smack dab in the middle of Bexar County, and has annexed a lot of the land in the county as the population has grown outwards from the core. Growth is just now spreading beyond county lines, with Comal County (New Braunfels) being the 10th fastest-growing county with a population over 10,000 last year. The area in between San Antonio and Austin is known as the Texas Hill Country, which also might limit development somewhat. But with growth from Austin moving south into Hays County (the 6th fastest-growing county last year) and San Antonio sprawling northwestward into Comal County, it's only a matter of time until the I-35 corridor between the two cities becomes more like the I-95 corridor in the Northeast, with suburbs sprawling from Austin to San Antonio.
The north side of San Antonio has traditionally been richer and more Anglo than the south side, while much of Austin's growth traditionally has sprawled northward into Williamson County.
