Projected Expansion: DFW's population is forecasted to reach nearly 8.5 million by 2028, marking a growth of approximately 9% over five years.
Long-Term Outlook: Studies suggest that by 2100, DFW could become the largest metropolitan area in the U.S., with a projected population of nearly 34 million.
Statewide Trends: Texas counties dominate national growth statistics, with eight of the top ten fastest-growing U.S. counties located within the state.
Corporate Migration: Major corporations, including Tesla, Hewlett-Packard, Apple, and Amazon, have established significant operations in Texas, attracting a skilled workforce and bolstering the regional economy.
