North Texas Is Home To The Most Diverse Cities In America

Arlington, Dallas and Fort Worth all ranked among the 25 most diverse cities in the nation.

North Texas takes the lead amongst the most diverse cities in America, according to a recent WalletHub survey. 

Focusing on 501 of the nation's largest cities, WalletHub analyzed metrics across five major diversity categories — socioeconomic, cultural, household, economic and religious diversity. With a score of 72.34, Arlington ranked fifth overall on the list and second in Texas, barely trailing behind Houston's score of 72.37. Dallas landed eighth on the list with a score of 71.79, while Fort Worth placed 22nd on the list with a score of 71.01. 

"Diversity creates nearly limitless opportunities to learn from others: what they eat, what they celebrate and what they believe," says Tony Brown, distinguished professor of sociology at Rice University. "You get exposed to new ways of seeing the world."
