Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex#Combined statistical area

A portmanteau of metropolis and complex, the term metroplex is credited to Harve Chapman, an executive vice president with Dallas-based Tracy-Locke, one of three advertising agencies that worked with the North Texas Commission (NTC) on strategies to market the region.{{Cite web|title=The Sulphur Springs News-Telegram|url=https://www.ssnewstelegram.com/|access-date=2020-06-19|website=The Sulphur Springs News-Telegram|language=en}} The NTC copyrighted the term "Southwest Metroplex" in 1972 as a replacement for the previously-ubiquitous "North Texas",{{cite web|url=http://www.ntc-dfw.org/ntchistory.html |author=North Texas Commission |title=History |access-date=1 October 2013 |url-status = dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131004215253/http://www.ntc-dfw.org/ntchistory.html |archive-date=4 October 2013}} which studies had shown lacked identifiability outside the state. In fact, only 38 percent of a survey group identified Dallas and Fort Worth as part of "North Texas", with the Texas Panhandle also a perceived correct answer, being the northernmost region of Texas.{{cite web|url=http://www.ntc-dfw.org/news/newsarchives/metroplex.html |author=North Texas Commission |title="Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex" brand serves region well |date=1 January 2002 |access-date=27 June 2006 |url-status = dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20041228074534/http://www.ntc-dfw.org/news/newsarchives/metroplex.html |archive-date=December 28, 2004 }}

The United States Census Bureau determined the Metroplex encompasses {{convert|9286|sqmi|km2|-2}} of total area; {{convert|8991|sqmi|km2|abbr=on}} is land, and {{convert|295|sqmi|km2|abbr=on}} is covered by water. The conurbated metropolitan area is larger in area than the U.S. states of Rhode Island and Connecticut combined,{{Cite web|title=If North Texas Were a State ...|url=https://ntc-dfw.org/if-north-texas-were-a-state/|date=2016-02-25|website=North Texas Commission|language=en|access-date=2020-05-19|archive-date=March 28, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160328133141/http://ntc-dfw.org/if-north-texas-were-a-state/|url-status=dead}} and larger than New Jersey. If the metropolitan area were a sovereign state, it would rank the 162nd largest state by total area after Lebanon. The U.S. Office of Management and Budget combines the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex with the Sherman–Denison metropolitan area and seven micropolitan statistical areas to form the Dallas–Fort Worth TX–OK combined statistical area.

The Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex overlooks mostly prairie land with a few rolling hills dotted by human-made lakes cut by streams, creeks and rivers surrounded by forested land. The Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex is situated in the Texas blackland prairies region,{{Cite web|title=TPWD:Blackland Prairie|url=https://tpwd.texas.gov/landwater/land/habitats/cross_timbers/ecoregions/blackland.phtml|website=tpwd.texas.gov|access-date=2020-05-19}} so named for its fertile black soil found especially in the rural areas of Collin, Dallas, Ellis, Hunt, Kaufman, and Rockwall counties.

Many areas of Denton, Johnson, Parker, Tarrant, and Wise counties are located in the Fort Worth Prairie region of North Texas,{{cite web|title=Cross Timbers and Prairies Ecological Region|url=http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/landwater/land/habitats/cross_timbers/ecoregions/cross_timbers.phtml|website=tpwd.texas.gov}} which has less fertile and more rocky soil than that of the Texas blackland prairie; most of the rural land on the Fort Worth Prairie is ranch land. A large onshore natural gas field, the Barnett Shale, lies underneath this area; Denton, Tarrant and Wise counties feature many natural gas wells. Continuing land use change results in scattered crop fields surrounded by residential or commercial development. South of Dallas and Fort Worth is a line of rugged hills that goes north to south about {{convert|15|mi|km}} that looks similar to the Texas Hill Country {{convert|200|mi|km}} to the south.

The cities of Dallas and Fort Worth are the two central cities of the Metroplex, with Arlington being a third economically important city; it is a center for sporting events, tourism and manufacturing. Most other incorporated cities in the Metroplex are "bedroom communities" serving largely as residential and small-business centers, though there are several key employers in these regions. Due to the large number of smaller, less well-known cities, Metroplex residents commonly divide the region roughly in half along Texas Interstate 35, which runs north–south, splitting into two 'branches' (I-35E in Dallas and I-35W in Fort Worth) through the Metroplex. They refer to places as being on the "Dallas side" or the "Fort Worth side", or in "the Arlington area", which is almost directly south of the airport; cities in the Arlington area form the Mid-Cities. It is nominally between the two major east–west interstates in the region (I-20, passing to the south of both downtowns, and I-30, connecting Dallas and Fort Worth city centers).

Business management and operations play a central role in the area's economy. Dallas and its suburbs have the third-largest concentration of corporate headquarters in the United States. Moreover, it is the only metro area in the country home to three of the top-ten largest Fortune 500 companies by revenue. The area continues to draw corporate relocation from across the nation, and especially from California. From late 2018 to early 2019, both McKesson and Charles Schwab announced they would be relocating from San Francisco to the DFW area.{{Cite web|url=https://www.bisnow.com/dallas-ft-worth/news/commercial-real-estate/the-corporate-relocations-of-dfws-christmas-past-many-of-them-poached-from-san-francisco-102177|title=Many Of DFW's Corporate Relocations In 2019 Were Poached From San Francisco|website=Bisnow|language=en|access-date=2020-02-16}} Later in 2019, San Francisco-based Uber announced a massive corporate expansion just east of downtown Dallas.

Banking and finance play a key role in the area's economy. DFW recently surpassed Chicago to become the second-largest financial services hub in the nation, eclipsed only by New York.{{Cite web|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/joelkotkin/2016/08/11/welcome-to-yall-street-the-cities-challenging-new-york-for-financial-supremacy/|title=Welcome To Y'all Street: The Cities Challenging New York For Financial Supremacy|last=Kotkin|first=Joel|website=Forbes|language=en|access-date=2020-02-16}} Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Liberty Mutual, Goldman Sachs, State Farm, Charles Schwab Corporation, and Fidelity Investments maintain significant operations in the area. The Metroplex also contains the largest Information Technology industry base in the state (often referred to as Silicon Prairie or the Telecom Corridor, especially when referring to US-75 through Richardson, Plano and Allen just north of Dallas itself). This area has a large number of corporate IT projects and the presence of numerous electronics, computing and telecommunication firms such as Microsoft, Texas Instruments, HP Enterprise Services, Dell Services, Samsung, Nokia, Cisco, Fujitsu, i2, Frontier, Alcatel, Ericsson, CA, Google, T-Mobile US, and Verizon. AT&T, the second largest telecommunications company in the world, is headquartered at the Whitacre Tower in downtown Dallas. ExxonMobil and McKesson, respectively the 2nd and 7th largest Fortune 500 companies by revenue, are headquartered in Irving, Texas. Fluor, the largest engineering & construction company in the Fortune 500, is also headquartered in Irving.{{Cite web|url=https://fortune.com/fortune500/2019/|title=Fortune 500|website=Fortune|language=en|access-date=2020-02-04}} In October 2016, Jacobs Engineering, a Fortune 500 company and one of the world's largest engineering companies, relocated from Pasadena, California to Dallas.{{cite web|url=https://www.bizjournals.com/dallas/news/2016/10/24/jacobs-engineering-global-hq-dallas-california.html|title=Global engineering firm to relocate headquarters from California to Dallas|last=Carlisle|first=Candace|website=Dallas Business Journal}} Toyota USA, in 2016, relocated its corporate headquarters to Plano, Texas. Southwest Airlines is headquartered in Dallas. The airline has more than 53,000 employees as of October 2016 and operates more than 3,900 departures a day during peak travel season.

On the other side of the Metroplex, the Texas farming and ranching industry is based in Fort Worth, though the area's economy is diverse. American Airlines, the largest airline in the world, recently completed their new $350M corporate HQ complex in Fort Worth.{{Cite web|url=https://www.dallasnews.com/business/local-companies/2019/09/23/american-airlines-unveils-new-350-million-headquarters-in-fort-worth/|title=American Airlines unveils new $350 million headquarters in Fort Worth|date=2019-09-23|website=Dallas News|access-date=2020-02-16}} American Airlines is also the largest employer in the Metroplex.{{Cite web|url=http://www.destinationdfw.com/Largest-Employers-in-Dallas-Fort-Worth-Texas/|title=Largest Employers in the Dallas Fort Worth Area|website=www.destinationdfw.com|date=August 19, 2013|access-date=2020-02-16}} Several major defense manufacturers, including Lockheed Martin, Bell Helicopter Textron, and Raytheon, maintain significant operations in the Metroplex, primarily on the "Fort Worth side". They are concentrated along State Highway 170 near I-35W, commonly called the "Alliance Corridor" due to its proximity to the Fort Worth Alliance regional airport.

Changes in house prices for the Metroplex are publicly tracked on a regular basis using the Case–Shiller index; the statistic is published by Standard & Poor's and is also a component of S&P's 20-city composite index of the value of the U.S. residential real estate market.

The Metroplex is one of the 12 U.S. metropolitan areas that has a team in each of the four major professional sports leagues. Major professional sports first came to the area in 1952, when the Dallas Texans competed in the National Football League for one season.{{Cite web|date=2019-03-22|title=Right Place, Wrong Time: How the 1952 Dallas Texans Flamed Out After One Lackluster Season of Football|url=https://www.texasmonthly.com/being-texan/1952-dallas-texans/|access-date=2020-10-29|website=Texas Monthly|language=en}} In 1960, major professional sports returned when the Dallas Cowboys began competing in the National Football League and the Dallas Texans began competing in the American Football League.{{Cite web|title=How the Dallas Cowboys Were Born in 1960|url=https://www.dallascowboys.com/news/how-the-dallas-cowboys-were-born-in-1960|access-date=2020-10-29|website=www.dallascowboys.com|language=en-US}}{{Cite web|date=2017-01-15|title=Dallas Texans (Chiefs) Team History|url=https://sportsteamhistory.com/dallas-texans-chiefs|access-date=2020-10-29|website=Sports Team History}} The Dallas Texans later relocated to Kansas City and became the Chiefs.{{Cite web|title=Kansas City Chiefs Team History|url=https://www.profootballhof.com/teams/kansas-city-chiefs/team-history/|access-date=2020-10-29|website=Pro Football Hall of Fame Official Site}} In 1972, Major League Baseball's Washington Senators moved to Arlington to become the Texas Rangers,{{Cite web|title=Washington Senators II team ownership history – Society for American Baseball Research|url=https://sabr.org/bioproj/topic/washington-senators-ii-team-ownership-history/|access-date=2020-10-29|language=en-US}} named after the statewide law enforcement agency.

The Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex is the most populous Republican-leaning metropolitan area in the country. However, since 2016 Democrats have been making inroads in the area's suburbs.{{Cite news|url=http://www.star-telegram.com/news/politics-government/election/article114512593.html|title=2016 election: Division in a key Texas Republican stronghold?|work=star-telegram|access-date=November 3, 2017|language=en}} As of 2024, both the mayor of Dallas (elected as a Democrat) and the mayor of Fort Worth are Republicans, with Dallas being the largest city in the United States to have a Republican mayor.{{Cite web |last=Fechter |first=Joshua |date=2023-09-22 |title=Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson switches to Republican Party |url=https://www.texastribune.org/2023/09/22/dallas-mayor-eric-johnson-republican/ |access-date=2023-09-22 |website=The Texas Tribune |language=en}}

The Republican Party has historically been dominant in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, including in presidential elections. Democrats have consistently won Dallas County since 2008. In 2020, Joe Biden narrowly won Tarrant County, whose county seat is Fort Worth, marking the first time since 1964 that the Democratic candidate had carried the county.{{Cite news|url=http://www.star-telegram.com/news/politics-government/election/article114512593.html|title=2016 election: Division in a key Texas Republican stronghold?|work=star-telegram|access-date=November 3, 2017|language=en}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.dallasnews.com/news/elections/2020/11/05/tarrant-county-granted-time-to-finish-counting-ballots/|title=President-elect Joe Biden wins Tarrant County in final vote tally|date=November 12, 2020|website=The Dallas Morning News|first1=Alex|last1=Briseno}}

The cities of Dallas and Fort Worth have their own newspapers, The Dallas Morning News and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, respectively. Historically, the two papers had readership primarily in their own counties. As the two cities' suburbs have grown together in recent years (and especially since the demise of the Dallas Times Herald in 1991), many sites sell both papers. This pattern of crossover has been repeated in other print media, radio, and television.

Since the 1970s all of the television stations and most of the FM radio stations have chosen to transmit from Cedar Hill so as to serve the entire market, and are programmed likewise. There has been a rise in "80–90 move-ins", whereby stations have been moved from distant markets, in some cases as far away as Oklahoma, and relicensed to anonymous small towns in the Metroplex to serve as additional DFW stations. According to RadioTime, the market had 38 AM stations, 58 FM stations (many of them class Cs), and 18 full-power television stations. Per another study the area has a total of 62 FM stations and 40 AM stations as of 2020.{{Cite web|title=Radio stations in Dallas, Texas - Radio Lineup|url=https://www.radiolineup.com/locate/Dallas-TX|access-date=2020-10-29|website=www.radiolineup.com}}

Dallas–Fort Worth is the fifth-largest television market in the United States, behind only New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Philadelphia. Two of the Metroplex's AM radio stations, 820 WBAP and 1080 KRLD, are 50,000-watt stations with coverage of much of the North American continent and beyond during nighttime hours. The South Asian population (Indian Sub-continent) has increased considerably in the DFW metroplex. They have the FM 104.9 radio channel and 700 AM radio.{{cite web|url=https://www.rapidtvnews.com/2011102116350/sony-launches-free-to-air-sab-tv-in-the-us.html |title=Sony launches free-to-air SAB TV in the US |publisher=Rapid TV News |access-date=2022-02-08}} Recently Sony TV, a subsidiary of Sony TV Asia, launched its FTA (free to Air OTA) channel on 44.2 station in DFW. It was one of the two locations they chose in the United States, the other being New York City, where there is also a large South Asian demographic.

The Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (IATA airport code: DFW), located between the cities of Dallas and Fort Worth, is the largest and busiest airport in the state of Texas. At {{convert|17207|acre|ha|0}} of total land area, DFW is also the second-largest airport in the country and the sixth-largest in the world. It is the third-busiest airport in the world in terms of aircraft movements and the world's seventh-busiest by passenger traffic, transporting 62.9 million passengers in FY 2014.{{cite web|url=https://www.dfwairport.com/pressroom/DFW_Year_End_Report_Shows_Record_62_Million_Customers.php |title= DFW End Report Shows Record 62 Million Customers |access-date=2015-11-16 |url-status = dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151117030858/https://www.dfwairport.com/pressroom/DFW_Year_End_Report_Shows_Record_62_Million_Customers.php |archive-date=2015-11-17}} Based in Fort Worth, American Airlines' headquarters are adjacent to DFW.

The Dallas–Fort Worth area has thousands of lane-miles of freeways and interstates. The Metroplex has the second-largest number of freeway-miles per capita in the nation, behind only the Kansas City Metro Area. As in most major metropolitan areas in Texas, most interstates and freeways have access or frontage roads where most of the businesses are located; these access roads have slip ramps allowing traffic to transition between the freeway and access road. North–south interstates include I-35 and I-45. East–west routes include I-30 and I-20. I-35 splits into I-35E and I-35W from Denton to Hillsboro: I-35W goes through Fort Worth while I-35E goes through Dallas. (This is one of only two examples of an interstate splitting off into branches and then rejoining as one; the other such split is in Minneapolis-St. Paul where I-35E goes into St. Paul and I-35W goes through Minneapolis.) I-30 connects Dallas and Fort Worth, and I-45 connects Dallas to Houston. The "multiple-of-5" numbers used for the interstate designations are notable, as these numbers were designed to be used for major multi-state arteries of the U.S. Interstate Highway System. The North Texas region is the terminus for two of them, and I-45 is located only within Texas.

HOV lanes exist along I-35E, I-30, I-635, US 67, and US 75. I-20 bypasses both Dallas and Fort Worth to the south while its loop, I-820, goes around Fort Worth. I-635 splits to the north of I-20 and loops around east and North Dallas, ending at SH 121 north of DFW Airport. I-35E, Loop 12, and Spur 408 ultimately connect to I-20 southwest of Dallas, completing the west bypass loop around Dallas. A large number of construction projects are planned or are already underway in the region to alleviate congestion. Due largely to funding issues, many of the new projects involve building new tollways or adding tolled express lanes to existing highways, which are managed by the North Texas Tollway Authority. It was originally established to manage the Dallas North Tollway and oversees several other toll projects in the area.{{Citation needed|date=July 2009}}

File:Dallas - Fort Worth Metroplex Rail Transit Services Map.png

Public transit options continue to expand significantly throughout the Metroplex. However, it is limited in several outlying and rural suburbs. Dallas County and portions of Collin and Rockwall counties have bus service and light rail operated by Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART), covering thirteen member cities. DART's rail network currently sprawls for 93 miles throughout the area. The Red Line extends north to Plano and southwest to Oak Cliff. The Blue Line reaches from Rowlett in the northeast to the University of North Texas at Dallas campus near I-20 in the south. The 28-mile Green Line, which opened in December 2010, connects Carrollton in the northwest through downtown Dallas to Pleasant Grove in the southeast. The Orange Line, which completed expansion in 2014, parallels the Red Line from Plano to downtown Dallas and the Green Line from downtown Dallas to Northwest Hwy before extending through the Las Colinas area of Irving to reach DFW International Airport.

Denton County has bus service limited to Denton, Highland Village, and Lewisville (with commuter service to downtown Dallas) provided by the Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA). The A-train, a diesel commuter rail line, parallels I-35E to connect Denton, Highland Village, Lewisville, and Carrollton. Several smaller towns along this line, Corinth, Shady Shores, and Lake Dallas, voted to abstain from DCTA and do not have stations. There is an across-the-platform transfer in Carrollton to the DART Green Line. A-Train service began June 20, 2011.{{cite web|url=http://thescoopblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2011/06/a-train-railway-begins-rolling.html|title=A-train railway begins rolling, carrying commuters from Denton to Carrollton|date=June 20, 2011|access-date=June 20, 2011|first=Matt|last=Peterson|work=The Dallas Morning News|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110701183458/http://thescoopblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2011/06/a-train-railway-begins-rolling.html|archive-date=July 1, 2011|url-status=dead}}

Tarrant County has bus services operated by Trinity Metro (formerly the Fort Worth Transportation Authority, popularly known as 'The T'), available only in Fort Worth. It additionally operates TEXRail commuter rail, which serves to connect downtown Fort Worth with DFW Airport and the DART Orange Line. The diesel commuter train that serves Fort Worth and its eastern suburbs is operated as the Trinity Railway Express; it connects downtown Fort Worth to downtown Dallas, where it links to the DART light rail system. A station near its midpoint, Centerport, also serves DFW Airport via a free airport shuttle bus. The TRE is jointly owned by FWTA and DART.{{cite web |url=http://www.trinityrailwayexpress.org/traininfo.html |title=About – Trinity Railway Express (TRE) |publisher=Trinity Railway Express |access-date=2013-04-22 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120204070824/http://www.trinityrailwayexpress.org/traininfo.html |archive-date=2012-02-04 |url-status = dead}} Amtrak serves two stations in the Metroplex—Dallas Union Station and Fort Worth Central Station. Both are served by the Texas Eagle route, which operates daily between Chicago and San Antonio (continuing on to Los Angeles three days a week), though only Fort Worth is served by the Fort Worth-Oklahoma City Heartland Flyer.

As of 2016 the Taiwanese airline EVA Air operates a shuttle bus service from George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston to Richardson, so that Dallas-based customers may fly on its services to and from Houston."[http://www.evaair.com/en-us/check-in-baggage-and-airports/shuttle-bus-service/dallas-houston-dallas-free-shuttle-service-schedule/ Dallas – Houston – Dallas Free Shuttle Service Schedule] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150905090133/http://www.evaair.com/en-us/check-in-baggage-and-airports/shuttle-bus-service/dallas-houston-dallas-free-shuttle-service-schedule/ |date=September 5, 2015 }}."
