    It All Adds Up

    Uptown by the numbers: How Dallas' hottest neighborhood keeps growing

    Jun 22, 2018 | 11:59 am

    The area of Dallas known as Uptown has been around for approximately 130 years, but it's the bustling, welcoming, and ever-growing neighborhood we know and love today largely thanks to Uptown Dallas, Inc.

    Since UDI's inception in 1993, the public improvement district has ensured that the Uptown neighborhood continues to improve — today, Uptown is 99 percent developed and at 96 percent occupancy. The total property value of Uptown exceeds a whopping $5.5 billion, which is an increase of 15 percent in the past two years alone.

    Take a look at what other mind-blowing numbers Uptown can claim.

    The neighborhood's resident population of 19,000 has increased 66 percent since just 2010. You might think that's mostly single millennials, since 85 percent of millennials aged 25-34 say they prefer the urban living experience, but families are actually the fastest growing demographic in Uptown. These growing families also have access to four early childhood education programs, all within one mile of Uptown.

    During the day, more than 30,000 people enjoy trekking around the neighborhood, thanks to over 645,000 square feet of repaired sidewalks that have earned the area an impressive Walk Score of 92.

    An important part of urban living is having access to green space, and in Uptown you'll find 58.2 acres of lush, verdant parks in its 591.8 total acres (that's just about 10 percent). In 2017 alone, UDI planted and maintained more than 30,000 flowers to keep Uptown beautiful and welcoming.

    Another way UDI's keeping things clean? Removing more than 2,506 graffiti marks and providing 44,000 pet waste removal bags in 2017. A recent increase in hourly police patrol has put officers on the streets for more than 3,150 hours, helping residents and visitors feel safe around the clock as they visit the more than 200 restaurants and bars and more than 150 retail shops.

    There are more than 50 arts and culture locations in Uptown, from theaters to the largest collection of Victorian-era homes remaining in Dallas. Those who are health and fitness-minded can choose from over 130 fitness studios and gyms, or explore the urban outdoors along the 3.5 miles of the Katy Trail that run along the westernmost tip of Uptown.

    In just 25 years, UDI has had a tremendous effect on the growth, culture, and beauty of one of Dallas' most popular neighborhoods. To learn more and to follow the continued growth of Uptown, visit www.uptowndallas.net or follow UDI on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.

    There are more than 200 restaurants and bars to visit.

    Dallas ranks as No. 1 city with smallest inflation problem in U.S.

    Dallas' inflation has cooled off after it was last saddled with the highest inflation rate nationally in January 2024.

    Inflation has been one of the biggest hot-button issues in the country in 2025, but a new study says inflation not impacting Dallas nearly as much as it is other U.S. cities.

    Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington ranked as the metro with the smallest inflation problem in the U.S. in WalletHub's new report, "Changes in Inflation by City."

    The report analyzed the impact of inflation across 23 major metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) using Consumer Price Index data from the latest month available and compared to data from two months prior. The analysis also factored in inflation data from last year to better track both short- and long-term inflation changes.

    Dallas saw only a 0.10 percent increase in its local inflation rate when compared to two months prior, and the rate is only 0.60 percent higher than it was this time last year.

    Dallas residents may be feeling the sting a lot less than they did in January 2024, when WalletHub said the city had the No. 1 highest inflation rate in the U.S. In April 2023, Dallas-Fort Worth had the 10th highest inflation rate nationwide.

    The study found Boston-Cambridge-Newton, Massachusetts-New Hampshire is the MSA that is currently being rattled by the highest inflation rate in the nation. The northeastern metro saw a 1.10 percent uptick in inflation when compared to two months ago, and it's 3 percent higher than it was a year ago.

    Inflation has continued to fluctuate throughout the year in different areas, but WalletHub said the national inflation rate has significantly lowered since it last hit a 40-year high during the COVID-19 pandemic.

    "The year-over-year inflation rate sits at 2.4 percent as of May 2025, which is still above the target rate of 2 percent," the report said. "Various factors, such as the war in Ukraine, labor shortages and recent tariffs, drive this higher than average inflation. Despite the country not meeting its target yet, the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates at the level set in December 2024."

    Elsewhere in Texas, Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land experienced the 13th highest inflation rate in the U.S., the report found. Inflation in the region increased 0.90 percent over the last two months, and it is currently 1.2 percent higher than it was one year ago.

    The top 10 metros where inflation has risen the most are:

    • No. 1 – Boston-Cambridge-Newton, Massachusetts-New Hampshire
    • No. 2 – St. Louis, Missouri-Illinois
    • No. 3 – Baltimore-Columbia-Townson, Maryland
    • No. 4 – San Diego-Carlsbad, California
    • No. 5 – Denver-Aurora-Lakewood, Colorado
    • No. 6 – Urban Honolulu, Hawaii
    • No. 7 – Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, California
    • No. 8 – Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, Illinois-Indiana-Wisconsin
    • No. 9 – Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, California
    • No. 10 – New York-Newark-Jersey City, New York-New Jersey-Pennsylvania
