Projected Top 10 Area Growth Cities
North Central Texas 2030 Demographic Forecast
This publication details the methodology to create household, population
and employment data projected in 5-year intervals through 2030 for cities
and counties in North Central Texas. Forecasts were created at the traffic
survey zone (TSZ) level for use in technical planning studies. Results in this
summary are provided at the city and county level. The forecast was
developed using a federally recognized land-use model that allocated
households and employment to 10 counties in North Central Texas: Collin,
Dallas, Denton, Ellis, Johnson, Kaufman, Parker, Rockwall, Tarrant, and
Wise. Extensive review by the North Central Texas Council of Governments
(NCTCOG) staff ensued each 5-year forecast. Local municipalities worked
with staff to ensure that local government land use and comprehensive
plans were included in the forecast. A task force of local officials from city,
county, and transportation entities acted as a governing body for the process
and endorsed the forecast for approval by the NCTCOG Executive Board
