FORT WORTH, Texas — The year 2100 is a mere 77 years away from now, but by then, the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex could be the most populated area in the country.

A study by moveBuddha, a relocation technology company, predicts that by 2100, over 33 million people could call North Texas home. Currently, New York City (8.3 million) and Los Angeles (3.8 million) are the most populated cities in America.

The study used data from the U.S. Census Bureau to examine metropolitan areas across the country with more than 250,000 residents.
