TEXAS (Houston Business Journal) – Texas’ five major cities — Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, Austin and Fort Worth — were among the top ten in the nation for population growth from 2005 to 2006, according to a U.S. Census Bureau report released yesterday.

Many of America’s fastest-growing cities appear to be suburbs. Three Dallas-area cities, McKinney (No. 2), Grand Prairie (No. 6) and Denton (No. 9), were in the top ten in percentage population gained. Fort Worth was No. 11 on that list.

In addition, six Texas cities cracked the top 25 for total population: Houston (No. 4), San Antonio (No. 7), Dallas (No. 9), Austin (No. 16), Fort Worth (No. 18) and El Paso (No. 21).
