The population of the Dallas-Fort Worth area grew by 842,449, or 16.3 percent, from 2000 to 2006, the second-largest numerical increase of the 361 metro areas studied.

Houston, which was ranked third, gained more than 824,547 people, or 17.5 percent.

About half of the growth in the two metro areas is coming from births. The rest is due to new immigrants or people moving from other regions in the United States.

Atlanta added more people than any other metro area from 2000 to 2006. The Atlanta area, which includes Sandy Springs and Marietta, Ga., added 890,000 people, putting its population at about 5.1 million. Phoenix and Riverside, Calif., rounded out the top five fastest-growing areas.

Austin, which added 263,802 people, and San Antonio, which increased by 230,501, also ranked among the country's top 20 in population growth.

Austin is great but the job market is slow. All home building and a lot of people I worked with got laid off in 2001 and took jobs at half the rate they were paid prior. Hope it comes back because it was a great place to live.

Now, that's very tacky. You're showing your true Texas spirit.
