Did You Choose to Live in Fort Worth Over Dallas? Tell Curious Texas Why

In 2018, the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington region was the fastest-growing metropolitan area in the nation, according to recent U.S. Census Bureau data.But one North Texas city stands out — and it's not Dallas.Fort Worth was the fastest-growing among the 50 most populous cities — Seattle fell just shy of the top spot -- with a 2.2% increase. Since 2010, Fort Worth grew by an estimated 20% of its population, while Dallas grew 12.3%.Across the country, bigger cities experienced a slowdown in growth. Frisco, McKinney, and Rowlett were all smaller North Texas cities in the top 10. Many newcomers are passing up Dallas, for instance, for smaller cities.
