Best In 55+ Real Estate™
2026-10-08
🏆 #1 of 6 DFW cities, #2 of 14 Texas cities — ALEX Intelligence, 2026.
Where are Texas’s 55+ households truly concentrated? The answer isn’t in rural retreats—but in the urban cores of Harris, Dallas, and Tarrant counties, where 29.6% of the state’s 65+ population resides. This clustering reshapes where retirement demand, equity release, and community infrastructure must be focused.
This data, published October 8, 2026, reveals a powerful trend: the most dynamic 55+ markets aren’t isolated enclaves, but dense, service-rich urban centers. The real estate future isn’t about leaving cities—it’s about building within them.
