Which City Do You Consider To Be The Largest: Dallas Or Houston?
Monday, February 22nd, 2010heres my take, which seems pretty rational: dallas is a very large, diverse, and cosmopolitan city and is home to more Fortune 500 companies than any other city in the nation.
Besides it being a business “mecca”, it also has some of the best shopping and dining in the nation, with more restaurants per capita than even NYC.
Also, dallas is the fourth largest metro in the nation. It’s home to over 6.7 million people and is only smaller than new york, los angeles, and chicago.
Although Houston has the largest city proper in the state, dallas is home to the largest metro area, and has a lot more high-quality suburbs. I think the houston area is home to about 5.8 million people as opposed to dallas 6.7?
Also, the reason why more people live in the houston city proper is because houston has about twice as much land as DAL does, so more room for people to live. but dallas is more densely populated, and more people live in the dallas area. Lets hear opinions on both sides!
