The Bisnow website article, https://www.bisnow.com/dallas-ft-wor...h-texas-111923

makes the following claim:

"The 13-county region that makes up North Texas is home to 7.5 million people. According to the North Texas Commission, one person moves to the region every 3.3 minutes. By 2050, the number of people living in North Texas is expected to more than double to 16.8 million."

How the heck did they get this estimate, which seems wildly optimistic, if not unrealistic? I've been looking for any website that have 2021 Metro estimates and projections but have not found any. I also know that projections based on past history almost never pan out. For example, wiki is showing DFW metro grew in the 30% range from 1980 to 2000 but has grown in the 20% range since then.
