"Texas Dominates: Dallas-Fort Worth and Florida Metro Areas Lead US Population Growth"

Dallas-Fort Worth led all metro areas in population growth in 2023, adding over 152,000 new residents, bringing its population to 8.1 million. Texas counties claimed eight of the top 10 spots for most new residents, with Harris County gaining 53,000 people. The growth is attributed to net migration, changes in births and deaths, and job opportunities brought by company relocations, especially in Collin and Denton counties. The region has emerged as a mecca for financial services companies and jobs, attracting a flood of new residents.
