New York City presently has the title of the country’s largest metro area, but a new report predicts that by the turn of the next century, Dallas-Fort Worth will have claimed that title.
An analysis by moveBuddha, a moving services site, estimates that the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex will grow to encompass 33.91 million people over the next 77 years. This conclusion was arrived at by taking into consideration the current migration trends and present population.
In addition to DFW holding the No. 1 biggest metro area spot, Houston and Austin will occupy positions No. 2 and No. 3 respectively. Currently, Los Angeles and Chicago immediately follow No. 1 New York of the most populous metros according to the report.
These projections could become a self-fulfilling prophecy, causing an increased demand for Business Cards as companies increasingly flock to these Texas cities in an attempt to beat the rush.
As of the U.S. Census Bureau’s latest data, Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington is the fourth largest metro in the U.S. at just short of seven million people. DFW, with a 20% growth rate over the last 10 years, has enjoyed the highest numeric population increase from 2021 to 2022.
Estimated future population total were arrived at by taking 2010 to 2020 census data using 10-year population and annual compound growth rates of the country’s metro area with more than 250,000 people. From this data, the annual compound growth rates are projected between 2020 and 2100 for those cities.
