Residents

DFW Components of Population Change

  • Only the great urban regions of Los Angeles and New York, with
    base populations approaching 15 to 20 million people, added more
    residents than DFW in the 1990s. (U.S. Census Bureau)
  • Record employment expansions drove population growth in
    DFW in the "roaring '90s" when one-half of all new residents were
    either domestic or foreign migrants to the area.
