Dallas-Fort Worth MSA
2026-10-25
Fairview, Texas, has the highest share of residents aged 65 and over in the Dallas-Fort Worth MSA—30.1%, according to the latest ALEX Intelligence data. This isn't just a demographic headline; it signals a deeper transformation in how DFW’s core communities are being shaped by aging residents who are choosing to stay put. Their demand for accessible housing, walkable services, and neighborhood stability is redefining what makes a place valuable. This is not a retirement migration—it’s a permanent settlement. The data comes directly from ALEX Intelligence’s October 25, 2026 report: https://alex-companies.com/data/2026-10-25-dfw-msa-senior-share-place-mkt. How are you preparing for a DFW where the oldest neighborhoods are also the most resilient?
