I also love when people lump DFW as one city or even Dallas. It's been the fastest growing metro for years now and is now over 8 million and just became the 4th largest media market. By 2030 it will overtake Chicago as the 3rd. There are cranes everywhere in the metroplex and Colin County now has its own skyline.

There are over 50+ suburbs. The actual city limit of Dallas is very small, that's why it's not that high on population vs San Antonio, Houston, San Diego and PHX.

95% of the growth is outside the city and people still lump 8+ million people in with the actual city of Dallas. They account for 1.3m of that 8m

It's all Dallas. Without Dallas those suburbs wouldn't exist.


Just like Marietta is Atlanta.
