The Topography section states that elevations in Dallas range from 450 to 550 feet. However, in Google Earth it is possible to see that there are elevations above 700 feet in extreme southwest Dallas, near Joe Pool Lake (west of Clark Road and north of Danieldale Road). It's hard to be sure from Google Maps and Google Earth, but I think this area is within the city limits of Dallas. However, there are clearly many places within the city limits of Dallas that are above 600 feet.
"Dallas's population was historically predominantly White (non-Hispanic whites made up 82.8% of the population in 1930), but its population has diversified due to immigration and white flight over the 20th century." This statement makes no sense. From 1930 to 2020 the white population of Dallas grew by +60%. That's the opposite of evidence of white flight. A factually correct section would read something like, "Share of white population decreased due to domestic and international migration." Yourmomsofat ( talk) 12:56, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
Does anyone have a source for the sudden population decline of Dallas from 2020 to 2021 mentioned in the statistics? Bjoh249 ( talk) 02:30, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
Hi @ TheLionHasSeen: same person who removed this I have a static IP. Where is there a reference saying Dallas is the “core” of the “core based statistical area”? Seems like silliness. The core is defined as a built up urban area as can be seen here on page 6 according to the us census bureau [1] 2607:FB91:787:8D7E:318A:EAED:D4D6:749B ( talk) 23:53, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

We've got Soetermans and Cerebral726 here saying that Dallas shouldn't begin with population statistics. This is absurd, there are many cities with population statistics in the beginning including Fort Worth. Additionaly, even if examples aren't good, I'm at a loss as for why Dallas is better off as a "city" in Texas instead of as the third most populous city in Texas or the ninth most populous in the U.S. Please clear the confusion, thank you.

I think we should highlight somehow, the city has a very short winter. And most days throughout February and March has a daytime temperature above 22.
