Know your rights as a candidate and an employee:
The job is in Dallas, TX. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.
How Dallas compares. Among the 120 largest places in Texas, Dallas is #3 by population, #112 for homeownership (#1 = highest), #42 for remote work (#1 = most), #46 for college degrees (#1 = most). Its county, Dallas County, is #8 of 254 counties for average pay ($89,284).
Dallas has 1,307,930 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 4.3% of the population of Texas. It covers 340 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 3,850 people per square mile. The median age is 33.4, 6% younger than the state median (33.4 against 35.6).
The median gross rent is $1,472 a month (rent plus utilities), 5% above the state median ($1,472 against $1,403). Over a year that is 25.0% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $320,700, which is 4.5 times the median household income ($70,518). 42.4% of households own their home, 32% below the state average (42.4% against 62.6%). A low ownership share points to a rental-heavy market with more apartments and shorter stays.
The Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX metropolitan area has 4,049,800 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $51,440 a year, about the same as the national median ($51,440 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (490,190 jobs, median $47,080); transportation and material moving (423,430 jobs, median $44,570); management (379,320 jobs, median $128,140). The area is most specialised in computer and mathematical (1.4 times) and management (1.3 times), where the share of workers is above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($128,140) and computer and mathematical ($121,440). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Dallas County was 4.2%. 68.6% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Dallas County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.
Among workers, 66.6% drive alone, 2.1% use public transit, 2.1% walk, 15.8% work from home. 14.1% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 17% below the state average (14.1% against 16.9%).
38.2% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 13% above the state share (38.2% against 33.8%). 23.4% of residents were born outside the United States, 33% above the state share (23.4% against 17.6%). The poverty rate is 16.7%, 21% above the state rate (16.7% against 13.8%).
The warmest month is Aug, averaging 86°F (30.1°C), and the coolest is Jan at 44°F (6.4°C). About 921 mm (36 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; May is the wettest month (116 mm) and Jul the driest (55 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.
Closest cities in this guide: Mesquite (11 miles, similar rent); Garland (11 miles, rent 11% higher); Farmers Branch (11 miles, rent 27% higher); Irving (13 miles, rent 10% higher). Rent differences are against Dallas; use the Compare tab to put any two cities side by side.
