North Texas has grown exponentially the last couple of years, and the growing doesn’t appear to be stopping any time soon.
According to a report from the Texas Demographic Center, the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington metro is estimated to have 8,060,528 inhabitants, making it the largest metro in the state.
DFW was reportedly responsible for 36% of Texas’ population growth in the last three years by adding over 423,000 inhabitants in that period, according to data.
Cullum Clark, director of the Bush Institute-SMU Growth Initiative, said per the Dallas Morning News, “the four metropolitan areas that we call the Texas Triangle are now 20.5 [million] people, so it’s just over two-thirds of all the people in the state and clearly growing faster than the rest of the state.”
The ten largest metros in the state of Texas, and the number of residents, include:
-Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington 8,060,528
-Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land 7,416,564
