Located in North Texas and a major city in the southwestern United States, Dallas is the third largest city of the state and the ninth largest in the United States. Historically, Dallas has been a majore center or cotton and crude. However, the present day economy of the city is driven mainly by a wider section of industries- banking, commerce, telecommunications, computers, energy, and transportation. It also has gained attention for having the third largest concentration of Fortune 500 companies in the country. The per capita income for the city was $25,904 in 2010.
As per the US Census 2010, Dallas’s population was 1,197,816. The age distribution of the population in Dallas was 26.6% under 18 years age and 8.5% were 65 years of age or older.
