Overall, Collin County grew by 19,350 people last year. This averages to 53 new residents a day moving into Collin County. Listed below are the figures for cities over 1,000 in population:

Dallas increased by 10,000 new residents for a total population of 1,316,350. Frisco added 6,250 residents to bring the city's population to 107,050.

COG also estimates that by 2030 Collin County's population will be approximately 1.2 million citizens. This means that over the next twenty years another 413,750 people will be moving to Collin County which will result in a 52% increase in our population. While growth has slowed in the last couple of years, Collin County is still ranked as the 13th fastest growing county in the nation.
