Small cities in big Texas metro areas lead as the fastest growing municipalities in the US
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Small cities in Texas are leading the nation in population growth, according to recent U.S. Census Bureau estimates. Celina, Princeton, Melissa, and Anna, all within the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, ranked as the fastest-growing cities in the U.S. from mid-2024 to mid-2025, with growth rates between 15% and 25%. Celina, with a population of 64,000, added 12,700 residents, surpassing larger cities like Seattle and Houston. The trend reflects a broader pattern of growth in Southern cities, driven by job opportunities and affordability, while larger cities face challenges due to immigration policy changes.
