The estimated January 1, 2022 population for the NCTCOG region is 8,097,170. Last year the region added 157,570 people. Regional growth last year was almost the same as it was in 2020. In 2021, 21 cities grew by 10% or more. Fort Worth led the region in growth, adding 22,710 people last year while Lewisville added 19,000, due in large part to the annexation of Castle Hills. They were followed by Dallas with just under 17,000 and McKinney with 6,800 and Frisco with 6,500. Collin, Denton, Dallas, and Tarrant Counties each added more than 23,000 people last year, with Collin County leading the way with 41,000 new residents. Ellis County is now over 200,000 and Hunt County over 100,000 population. Since 1990, the region has almost doubled in population.
Population estimates are based on current housing inventories for cities in the NCTCOG Region with populations of 1,000 or more.
