nativehoustonion Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I was told the census will split DFW in 2020. I was told it would be Dallas-Plano and Forth Worth-Arlington metropolitans areas. Which Houston-The Woodlands-Sugarland will take the 4th spot. San Francisco and San Jose were split, and also Washington D. C. and Baltimore. What are your thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nativehoustonion Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 Of course, but Fort Worth hates being second. Fort Worth is growing more then Dallas. I love Fort Worth it's fun they are so different from Dallasites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayouCityMan Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Whether separated or together, the Houston metro is still projected to surpass DFW by 2030 I believe. Fort Worth is like a different world from Dallas. Much friendlier people, much more laid-back atmosphere. It actually reminds me of Houston circa 1950 based on what I've read and heard.

While Houston is growing faster than DFW, the difference is negligible (4.33% vs. 4.28% over the 27-month period from April 2010 to July 2012) and not nearly enough to make up the 500,000 + difference in our current populations by 2030.

I love Fort Worth it's fun they are so different from Dallasites. The City of Fort Worth is indeed growing faster than the City of Dallas, FWIW. But the Fort Worth-Arlington division is not growing as fast as the Dallas-Plano-Irving division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nativehoustonion Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 dallas-plano-irving has a population of 4,736,652 and Fort Worth has a population of 2,251,071 from the census. Harris country is at 4, 125,564. dallas always includes Forth Worth. It does not really matter because we will pass them up. But do we need that much people here?

strickn Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 If Houston and the Metroplex are the nation's leading lifters of families from underclass to working class and working class to middle class, then I will say we need more people to come here, even if it's inconvenient for us, yes. One thing I do wish is that some of our philanthropists would focus on proving up the economics of delivering a different development pattern so that the Texas Triangle can double its population without doubling (or greater) its footprint.

That area is becoming more cohesive with a growth in shared commuting and more integrated public transit. I can see the area sprawling to Louisiana before I see it being split Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonIsHome Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Any such decision would likely not come until after the 2020 census is conducted.That's not necessarily true. There is a slated metro definition review slated for june 2018. It happens every five years. Last one was last year. https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2010/06/28/2010-15605/2010-standards-for-delineating-metropolitan-and-micropolitan-statistical-areasIt was in 2003 that Dallas and FW were combined as an MSA. Highly doubt they will split, but the earliest review of MSA will vine in 2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
