Frisco, Texas — Regional Market
Frisco, a Dallas suburb 44 kilometres north of the metro core, ranks third among the 400 North American Regional Markets with a composite score of 21.0, built from three Tier 1 co-location clusters and a confirmed civic anchor. The city's population more than doubled in the decade after 2010, driven by corporate relocations and large-format retail development. That growth placed it among the fastest-growing cities in the United States.
Overview
According to Wikipedia (accessed 2026-07-10), Frisco recorded a population of 200,509 at the 2020 census across a land area of approximately 68.64 square miles, split between Collin and Denton counties. It sits roughly 25 miles from both Dallas Love Field and Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. The city markets itself under the slogan "Progress in Motion" and was the fastest-growing city in the United States in 2017. Leading employers as of 2023 include the Frisco Independent School District, the City of Frisco, T-Mobile USA, and Keurig Dr Pepper. Median household income rose from $100,868 in 2010 to $116,884 by 2019. The 2020 census recorded a substantial Asian population share (26.27 percent), up from 2.32 percent in 2000 — a marker of the pace of demographic change alongside the city's growth.
Notable commercial development includes the 165-store Stonebriar Centre regional mall, a 310,000-square-foot IKEA, The Star — the Dallas Cowboys' headquarters and training complex on a 91-acre site — and Frisco Square, a mixed-use downtown development combining city hall, library, and retail.
