DALLAS, Texas (AP) -- Four Texas metropolitan areas were among the biggest population gainers as Americans continued their trend of moving to the Sun Belt in 2006 and 2007, according to U.S. Census Bureau estimates to be released Thursday.

Dallas-Fort Worth added more than 162,000 residents between July 2006 and July 2007, more than any other metro area. Three other Texas areas -- Houston, Austin and San Antonio -- also cracked the top 10.
Atlanta saw the second-largest population jump with just over 151,000 new residents. Phoenix, Arizona, was third with more than 132,000, and was followed by Houston, Texas; Riverside, California; Charlotte, North Carolina; Chicago, Illinois; Austin, Texas; Las Vegas, Nevada and San Antonio, Texas.
Of the 50 fastest-growing metro areas, 27 were in the South and 20 were in the West. Two were in the Midwest, one -- Fayetteville, Arkansas -- straddles the South and Midwest and none was in the Northeast.
Detroit, Michigan, lost more than three times as many people as any other metro area -- its population declined more than 27,300. Other areas losing more than 5,000 people were Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Cleveland, Ohio; Columbus, Georgia; Youngstown, Ohio, and Buffalo, New York.
Experts credit much of the growth in the South to relatively strong local economies and housing prices that are among the most affordable in the United States.

Dallas has been on a roll for 30 years now. It's amazing that it just keeps going. I think it speaks volumes for how the state is run, at least on an economic level.

But I think all of our new arrivals have decided to live at least 30 miles from their jobs. Traffic is getting heavier and heavier. My car's average MPH that it continually calculates is dropping. I'm down to 21.0 mph and 2/3 of my daily commute is freeway.
