Yes, that viral DFW population map is true. North Texas is bigger than most states. (www.wfaa.com)

People are moving to DFW because it has significantly lower housing prices than a lot of places with high cost of living, and an economy that lets potential homebuyers maintain enough of their income to come out ahead.

Those people are expanding the metroplex northward because people buying homes want new construction in suburbia.
