Dallas County shrinks as North Texas’ population grows, census says

Census data reports that Dallas County’s population has dropped while almost all urban counties across the state grew.

Cullum Clark, the director of the Bush Institute-Southern Methodist University Economic Growth Initiative, said population declines like the one seen in Dallas County are common right now among large U.S cities. Even if Dallas County doesn’t see the same growth as it has historically, the area is booming. In 2022, local population estimates say,The North Central Texas Council of Governments includes the less populous counties of Wise, Hunt, Rockwall, Kaufman, Ellis, Johnson, Hood and Parker, all surrounding the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, in the Metroplex Planning Area where that growth is tracked. These counties saw a one-year growth increases ranging from Hunt County’s 3.

The global coronavirus pandemic also sped up the migration away from Dallas County for some, Clark said. The two populations that increased within Dallas County lines between 2020 and 2021 were the Asian population and the Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander populations. The U.S. Census reported that the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington area saw the largest increases of these populations nationwide.

Higher-end service jobs, such as at Wall Street investment banks and in top law firms, will continue to keep downtown offices. But those who work and live outside of Interstate 635 don’t see that much of a draw to Dallas. The housing supply within Dallas County is also much lower than that in surrounding counties. Dallas County is barely building more housing units than it is demolishing, Clark said. Millennials are driving the market, Healy said, and they want their money to go further.

You forgot to state the obvious! It’s plastered in BLUE!

Gee, I wonder why.

Because no one wants to live in Dallas. Overtaxed, crime ridden, homeless everywhere...
