Dallas’ Worldview Resume

My Day By Dr. J. Ester Davis

Have you been keeping up with Dallas’ Resume?  How much more will we spread out?  What are you looking for in the next Mayor of Dallas?  Why are the new residents of the metroplex choosing this region and happy with their choices?  What will the upcoming census yield as our population?

Dallas and its surrounding 28plus cities definitely have a lot to offer.  The worldwide resume of Dallas is most attractive.   The general opinion of Dallas is that it is an expression surrounding an activity and new excitement that is just beginning.   Let’s take a look at who Dallas really is. . . today.

Dallas has more than 300 people moving here daily.  So in terms of growth Dallas is the 3rd fastest growing city.  And the city has been bursting at the waistline with positivity for more than a decade now.

Dallas is the 4th Best City for relocations. It is home to the nation’s 2nd largest airline, American Airlines,  who is a One World Partner.  The One World Alliance centers the collective power of about 12 other world class airlines to make travel, with more privileges, easier and more comfortable for universal travelers.

In the region, the North Texas Region, there are more than 10,000 corporate headquarters making the region the largest corporate concentration in the United States. Dallas has more restaurants per capita than any other metroplex area in the nation.  Many factors equate to a good economy, but Dallas has the 6th best GDP (Gross Domestic Product) marking a giant checkmark on the ledger as a great economy.

The GDP has a formula and a definition.  One major difference is that it is often used to measure the economic performance of the whole with international comparisons.

Plus or minus twenty-five(25) of America’s Richest Citizens call Dallas home with twenty-two(22) of the Fortune 500 Companies in the immediate DFW Territory. This term  “richest citizens” of Dallas does not include the number of millionaires. . . which is a separate category.

Speaking of jobs, we have jobs in Big D.  Dallas ranks 3rd in the nation in skilled job labor and rising tech positions. Right beside the jobs section is, of course, housing.  Actually, Dallas for its size, has been behind in housing for over a decade.  So catchup has both a negative and positive charge.  Average rent is over $1,500 being the nation’s hottest housing market since 2014. . . with an approximate average salary of $67,500. Somewhere alone the way was a report on Dallas being voted one of America’s friendliest cities.

Again. . . Dallas has a lot to offer.  And the high speed rail and inland port are not even here yet.
