Fort Worth: A City in Growth
Fort Worth, recognized as the 22nd best real estate market in the nation by Wallet Hub in 2023, is a city that’s rapidly growing. As of July 1, 2022, the U.S. Census Bureau recorded its population at 956,709, making it the 13th largest city in the U.S. Impressively, Fort Worth saw the most significant population increase among cities over 50,000, with an addition of 19,170 people in just a year. Unlike many cities that expand upwards, Fort Worth has the luxury of expanding outwards, creating room for new communities.
