Dallas anchors North Texas from its position in Dallas County, with its influence extending through Richardson and Plano to the north, Arlington and Grand Prairie to the west, and Garland and Mesquite to the east. The metro's economy runs on finance, telecommunications, and healthcare—major employers include Bank of America, AT&T, and the UT Southwestern Medical Center complex—while Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport drives significant logistics and corporate headquarters activity. The city's grid spreads across distinct areas like Uptown's high-rises, the Oak Lawn corridor, Deep Ellum's commercial strips, and southern neighborhoods toward Lancaster and DeSoto, with service needs varying widely across older inner-city blocks and newer suburban development pushing into Collin and Denton counties.
