Texas cities again lead population growth; Fort Worth gained the highest sheer number of new residents of any city in the country in 2022



Texas is now home to four of the nation’s largest cities, with Austin finally joining Houston, San Antonio and Dallas on the list of top 10 most populous cities.


Fort Worth gained the highest sheer number of new residents of any city in the country in 2022, with an increase of 19,170. Its total population hit 956,709 last year.


Fort Worth just barely outpaced San Antonio, which saw the third-largest numeric increase behind Phoenix, and reached a population of 1.47 million. Last year, San Antonio ranked first while Fort Worth ranked third.


Fort Worth’s growth helped power the broader Dallas-Fort Worth region so that the metro area saw the highest numeric increase of any other metro, with a jump of 170,396 residents. The Houston-The-Woodlands-Sugar-Land metro area followed, adding 124,281 residents.
