HoustonâThe WoodlandsâSugar Land is the fifth-largest metropolitan area in the United States and the second-largest in Texas (after DallasâFort Worth) with a population of 6,490,180, as of U.S. Census Bureau's July 1, 2010 estimates.
New population estimates released by the United States Census Bureau show four metro areas in Texas added more people than any state in the country. The populations in the DFW, Houston, San Antonio and Austin metro areas increased by more than 400,000 people from July 1, 2014, to July 1, 2015. The Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington and Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land metro areas added the most of any metro area -- about 145,000 and 159,000 residents, respectively. The growth keeps DFW and Houston as the fourth and fifth largest areas in the country.
