It’s no secret that the Dallas-Fort Worth area’s growing economy is a constant driver of new talent and professional transplants from all over the country. Pair that with each generation’s (millenials, Gen Xers, boomers, you name it!) draw to the culture and entertainment of city-life combined with the much lower cost of living compared to other major U.S. cities and it’s just a no brainer. Using U.S. Census data, Lawnstarter compiled a list of the top 15 cities that are sending the most residents to the area:
- Houston, TX

- Atlanta, GA
- Oklahoma City, OK
- Washington, DC
