Dallas-Fort Worth MSA
2026-11-12
21.0% of all new homes built in the Dallas-Fort Worth MSA since 2020 are concentrated in just three cities: McKinney, Denton, and Arlington. This isn't just growth—it's a structural realignment of where development happens. The data reveals that housing supply is no longer spreading evenly across the metro; instead, it's stacking in a few strategic hubs. This has real implications for affordability, infrastructure, and long-term equity across the region.
