Dallas and Houston shares Texas. Louisiana is split between Dallas and Houston outside of New Orleans. Northwest Mississippi is Dallas extremely overlapped and Southwest Mississippi is Houston shared with New Orleans. Arkansas and Oklahoma is influenced more by Dallas.
I would say it's split between Dallas and Houston overall, with some other cities like New Orleans and OKC having a more local influence in their general areas.
The thing with New Orleans is that it doesn't touch Houston in population in relation to the Gulf Coast. No city does. But culturally and especially historically, New Orleans was the big city for decades if not centuries for the Gulf Coast region. I think that still exists to this day and when I mean Gulf Coast, I mean the area from Lafayette east to Pensacola.
Economyy I would say Houston National Importance: Houston (they get more terrorist threats and NASA is there) Shipping: Houston Business: Houston has way more fortune 500 companies than Dallas
Air Travel Domestic: Dallas
Air Travel International: Houston Air Travel Overall: Dallas Better Museums: Houston Better Arts Scene: Houston

Baton Rouge is actually starting to even look and feel like Houston.

Economy- Houston has the bigger industry. Dallas has more industries. It has a more diverse economy than Houston. Houston's GDP is bigger but not by much.
Agree with National Importance
Shipping= equal. Houston has the seaport. Dallas has the airport which is one of the top cargo airports in the nation
Won't argue for the next three.
Better museums= Houston
Better Arts Scene= shared and Dallas in the near future could have the superior Arts district when they are complete with construction.
I've seen you say this before. Not saying you are wrong but in what way is Baton Rouge starting to even look and feel like Houston.
The way it's developing. Also, the architecture and culture is the same... It's like Gulf meets Cajun meets Traditional South. Can't forget the refineries and the fact that the economy is heavily petrochemical. South Baton Rouge would look almost identical to Sugar Land or somewhere if the added 4 more lanes to the freeway. The new feeder roads make them seem even closer.
