Fort Worth has transformed into one of the fastest-growing large cities in America. Anchoring the western side of the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex, the city combines its historic cattle industry and western heritage with modern economic strength. Major employers include aerospace and defense firms, healthcare systems, transportation companies, and advanced manufacturers.

With over one million residents and continued population growth at one of the fastest rates among major U.S. cities, Fort Worth offers relatively affordable housing compared to many peer cities while maintaining the economic advantages of a major metropolitan area. From North Fort Worth growth corridors to established neighborhoods, the city attracts homebuyers, businesses, and new residents seeking opportunity and affordability.
