Here's an astounding growth milestone for North Texas: The region's population now exceeds the population of the state of Washington. New data from the North Central Texas Council of Governments indicates that as of January 1, an estimated 8,097,170 people lived in the 16-county region. The region comprises the 12 counties of the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area, as well four adjacent counties: Erath, Navarro, Palo Pinto, and Somervell. The council's tally shows North Texas added 157,570 residents last year, despite the COVID-19 pandemic.
