Sorry Houston, but Dallas-Fort Worth is a more popular place to live.
The latest Census numbers show that the DFW population grew by 650,000 in the last five years, the
reported.
Around 80,000 people moved to the DFW area in 2020. These new migrants have helped make D-FW the fourth largest metro area in the United States behind New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago.
Houston dropped from fourth to fifth since its population didn t grow as rapidly as DFW s. Houston s 2020 population was 7.1 million people while DFW s was 7.6 million.
While there are definite perks to living in a big city - like endless entertainment and restaurant choices - the downside is rising rent prices.
