| How Many People Live In The Dallas-fort Worth Metroplex |
How Big is This Herd, Y'all?
The answer, my friend, is a whopping 8.1 million people (as of 2023, that is). That's right, the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex is bursting at the seams with a vibrant community that keeps on growing faster than bluebonnets in spring.
More People Than You Can Shake a Stetson At
Tip: Revisit this page tomorrow to reinforce memory.
To put that 8.1 million in perspective, that's more people than you'd find living in:
- All of New York City (sorry, Big Apple, Texas takes the crown... this time)
- The entire state of Oregon (can you imagine fitting that many people into Portland?)
- An army of ten million armadillos (okay, that one might be a slight exaggeration, but you get the picture)
From Wide-Open Spaces to Bustling Streets
Now, 8.1 million might sound like a lot of folks crammed together, but DFW is a sprawling metropolis with plenty of wide-open spaces to balance out the bustling city life. You can find yourself surrounded by skyscrapers in downtown Dallas one minute, and be gazing at wide-open prairies in Fort Worth the next.
QuickTip: Don’t rush through examples.
So, Who Are These 8.1 Million Texans?
That, my friends, is a question for a whole other census! But let's just say it's a diverse bunch, with folks from all walks of life calling DFW home. From young professionals to retirees, cowboys to tech gurus, there's a little bit of everything (and everyone) here.
