Regional Population

During the last decade, the Dallas–Fort Worth region was among the nation’s fastest-growing areas, attracting significant job growth and population. The population growth has fueled real estate development, as retailers and service providers expand to meet increasing demand. The growth has pushed Dallas and Fort Worth to redevelop and reenergize their downtowns, creating mixed-use buildings with residential, office, and retail space and a high-end urban environment. While Dallas and Fort Worth serve as the biggest population centers, four other suburbs—Irving, Garland, Plano, and Arlington—exceed 200,000, offering residents an abundance of choice as they search for the community that best fits their needs.
