North Texas has been a magnet for investment and relocation in recent years, resulting in a significant expansion of the region’s population and economic activity. D-FW has been growing so much, you’d think all the new businesses and residents might cause the Metroplex to sink into the dirt…
All jokes aside, D-FW is actually sinking, and there are some long-term implications. A study by Nature Cities made local headlines earlier this year because Dallas and Fort Worth ranked among the top inland cities in the United States for subsidence (the gradual caving in or sinking of an area of land). In both cities, more than 70% of the land is sinking at a rate of over 3 mm per year.
