Living in Dallas, Texas Demographics Dallas Is the Third-Largest City in Texas and the Ninth-Largest in the United States Living in Dallas, Texas Demographics Dallas is the third-largest city in Texas and the ninth-largest in the United States. Dallas forms the heart of the large metropolitan area in north central Texas, commonly referred to as the “metroplex”. The metroplex, a 12-county area encompassing more than 120 cities, is anchored by the City of Dallas in the east and the City of Fort Worth in the west. The population of Dallas is around 1.3 million according to the US Census Bureau. This ultra- modern and sophisticated city is the largest economic center of the 12-county Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area, which is the fourth-largest metropolitan area in the United States. The Dallas community is world-class with a diverse population located on a total land area of 384 square miles. Dallas is centrally located within the US and serves as a commercial and cultural hub of the Southwest region. Within a four-hour flight from most North American destinations, the travel possibilities are endless. Dallas is also a leading business and meeting city. Dallas-Fort Worth is home to 24 Fortune 500 companies and has become a hotspot in recent years for corporate relocations. Notable Fortune 500 companies include: Exxon Mobil, AT&T, Energy Transfer Equity, American Airlines Group, Southwest Airlines, Texas Instruments, GameStop, D.R. Horton, and Dr. Pepper Snapple Group. Entertainment/Culture With many entertainment districts within a short distance of downtown, Dallas is a unique melting pot which mixes local history with arts, culture, dining, and more. Dallas is stylish and cosmopolitan, a city with a well-earned reputation for fashion, shopping, and prosperity. Multiple unique districts, from the musically inspiring Deep Ellum to the eclectic Bishop Arts, add range and texture to the Dallas urban experience. With world-class performing arts groups, a vibrant culinary culture, the city is full of exciting things to discover. You can enjoy the classics of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra performing at one of the country’s most respected concert halls or see the latest Broadway musicals in the modern Winspear Opera House. Dallas has attractions that provide plenty of things to do and see. For a taste of classic Texas, a visit to the Mesquite Championship Rodeo is all it takes to experience true cowboys and hearty Texas food. Every fall, Dallas’ Fair Park hosts the annual State Fair of Texas, attracting visitors from across the country who partake in a wide variety of festivities, from a car show to pig races to every fried food under the sun. The 55-foot-tall 'Big Tex' statue greets visitors and is the tallest cowboy in Texas. Dallas is home to many exciting amusement parks, beautiful lakes, and seasonal festivals. As a fashionable, cutting-edge city, Dallas is also known for one of the world’s best collections of 20th century architecture. In the culturally diverse city of Dallas, there is truly something for everyone. An afternoon at the Dallas Zoo is fun for all ages, while a stroll through the impressive Dallas Museum of Art will offer a chance to see some of the most incredible artistic works from Asia and Europe. Venues of all sizes let you experience the biggest acts, a relaxing concert, or an intimate evening of jazz. The Dallas Arts District is the largest urban arts district in the nation, offering world-class culture through art, music, drama, dance, and a wide variety of family festivals. Outdoor Life White Rock Lake, a reservoir constructed at the beginning of the 20th century, is one of many places to get outdoors and stay active. The lake and surrounding park are a popular destination among boaters, rowers, joggers, and bikers, and the lake trail is only a small portion of the 158 miles of hike and bike trails Dallas has to offer. One of the most popular attractions in the city, the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden, are located on the lake's eastern shore. It features 66 acres of utopian, intricately tended gardens that are sure to please. The Katy Trail, a walking/running path constructed along an old rail line, provides a unique opportunity to exercise and enjoy the beauty of nature in Dallas’ urban core. More an even more rugged adventure, Dallas offers the Great Trinity Forest, the largest urban forest in the United States, which is only minutes from downtown. Food With a density of restaurants greater than New York City, Dallas is truly a food-lover’s town. While first- time visitors might conjure images of Texas steakhouses and barbecue joints, Dallas long ago found its way onto America’s culinary map with innovative restaurants and talented chefs mining the flavors of American, Italian, Asian and Mexican cuisine. Downtown Dallas is home to an incredible variety of restaurants from the critically acclaimed, unique concept restaurants to everyday casual dining. In 2019, Dallas was named the Bon Appetit Restaurant City of the Year and was home to six James Beard Award semifinalists! Getting Around Dallas is predominantly a car city, but there are a variety of alternative transportation options available. Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) includes light rail and bus service and is the fastest-growing mass transit network in the United States. DART has the longest light- rail system in the country, with 93 miles of railway and 68 stations. In addition, the historic McKinney Avenue Trolley (free) runs from the Dallas Arts District throughout the Uptown area and allows easy hop-on, hop off access to the area’s many restaurants, pubs, boutique hotels, and shops. The Dallas Streetcar (free) connects the trendy Bishop Arts District with downtown and the rest of the DART system. Sports Dallas is also the home of six professional sports teams: The Dallas Cowboys (NFL), Dallas Stars (NHL), Dallas Mavericks (NBA), Dallas Wings (WNBA), FC Dallas (MLS), and the Texas Rangers (MLB). AT&T Stadium (home of the Cowboys) is the fourth-largest stadium in the NFL, and the retractable roof at the new Globe Life Field will showcase the Texas Rangers no matter the weather. The area also offers more than 200 golf courses. In addition, the metroplex is also home for the Texas Motor Speedway that each year hosts the NASCAR Sprint Cup, Nationwide Series, Gander Outdoors Truck Series and the Indy Racing League. Housing Dallas has housing options for all stages of life. For those who want to be close to the action, neighborhoods in the urban core such as Uptown and Deep Ellum offer a variety of townhomes and apartments, many of which score high in walkability for their proximity to shopping and nightlife. 1920’s bungalows intermingle with modern construction in warm, inviting neighborhoods. For those who want room for a family or a quieter pace, the metroplex has a variety of suburban options that offer affordable single-family homes with easy freeway access into the city. From the bustle of Frisco with its high-end shopping and restaurants to the quaint charm of semi-rural Forney, you’ll easily find a place to live that fits your lifestyle. Dallas is Different Enjoy the best shopping in the southwest, four-and five-diamond/star hotels and restaurants, the largest urban arts district in the nation, 13 entertainment districts and much more. From the sophisticated shopping of Knox-Henderson and NorthPark to the dining and dancing in Deep Ellum and bar hopping on Greenville Avenue, Dallas has something for everyone. Blend in moderate weather, year-round sports, and true Southern hospitality for a true “taste” of what makes Dallas different. Dallas is a city that models its slogan, “Big things happen here.” Its pioneering spirit is alive and well, and the philanthropic contributions from its many residents continue to enrich the community and quality of life. Dallas combines the best of metropolitan living while possessing classic Southern hospitality and grace, Texas style. Welcome to Dallas!
