The latest numbers from the U.S. Census has Ft. Worth-Arlington is 2.488 million and Austin-Round Rock at 2.115 million.

Isn't Dallas-Ft. W one metro? The two cities are only about 30 miles apart.

Yes, it's one metro. FW and Dallas share the same bedroom communities so it's really hard to divide it.The census used to acknowledge metro divisions with the one metro area to just gauge how much growth was on the West side or the East side of the metro, but I'm not sure if they are actively doing that anymore.

IIRC, the Census Bureau also briefly split DFW into to two Metros around the same time that Washington D.C./Baltimore and San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose were each split into two separate Metros. DFW became one again of course, while the other two still remain split.

Isn't how many people a metro has determine how much money they get for projects, etc.?

X-posting this from the Austin subforum. I'm pretty disappointed that they're cheaping out and going with a bland generic glass box. This will feature prominently in our skyline and block views of the One American Center. I would expect something better than this.

This is crap for a city like Austin.

I think this looks nice, little boring but not bad.

Yes it is, and they provide numbers for the overall DFW metro area.

All of the very large metro cities that are spread out, ie, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, San Fran, Miami, etc also are broken down like DFW.

Here is the link to the US Census Bureau with the charts.

Yup pretty common for large metros.
