POPULATION DENSITY AND GROWTHWhile the majority of the population growth from 2000 to 2010 occurred in suburban communities, the urban core and the fi rst-ring suburbs continue to show vibrancy and opportunity due to well-established neighborhoods and dense population concentrations.
The Dallas–Fort Worth region is expected to grow to a population of 10.5 million people and employ more than 6.6 million by the year 2040. Growth is likely to occur in almost all parts of the region.
Data presented on this map are compiled by traffi c survey zone (TSZ), an aggregate of census blocks. Forecast estimates are produced by the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) and are the result of a combination of eff orts. The fi rst of these is an objective, deterministic model that uses factors such as inventory of vacant land and accessibility to allocate given levels of households and employment. The second is a subjective local review process whereby local entities are given an opportunity to review the model outputs and suggest adjustments. For this, local reviewers use their own expertise, experience and knowledge along with substantiating information such as adopted comprehensive plans and known development activity. It is important to note that both the objective and the subjective processes represent possible outcomes of future development activity. NCTCOG staff assess input submitted by local reviewers along with other data tracked by NCTCOG to complete the forecast estimates.
These data were developed for regional planning activities and have not been evaluated for other uses.
