It's dangerous to assume something from a single data point!
According to the U.S. Census (estimates), Austin's city proper has grown by an average of 2.9% per year since 2010 - Ft. Worth, 2.56%. Also, raw growth also favors Austin during this timeframe: 160,325 vs. 132,962, respectively. So, no, Ft. Worth will not overtake Austin, in city population, anytime soon.
