Among the 120 largest places in Texas, Houston has the most residents (2,328,253), followed by San Antonio and Dallas. Click any column to sort; click a city for its guide.
Across the 120 places in Texas that we cover, the median is 70,780 and the average 149,355; the figure runs from 2,328,253 (Houston) to 30,491 (Sachse). That is a spread of 76.4 times between the two ends.
The first five are Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, Austin, Fort Worth. A high or low position is not good or bad on its own: size brings more employers and services but also longer commutes and more competition for housing. Use the Compare tab on each city page to see how two places differ across income, rent, commute and education, and check the county page for the local job market.
