Dallas is not even close to being similar to Kansas City
I wouldn't say that at all. I don't find them all that different. More differences than similarities? Sure. But "not even close." Nah. Kansas and Missouri are the northern states most similar to Texas in geography, build up and attitude. Probably demographics too.

I would disagree that Dallas and OKC share those things in common. Fort Worth, fringe DFW suburbs, and rural Texas do but not Dallas itself. Even the geography is different. Dallas is arguably not even in tornado alley and is overall greener than OKC is.
Okay, this is just hilarious. What arguments do you have, exactly?
I guess Dallas ain't in tornado alley but Fort Worth, Denton and Garland conveniently are? In terms of weather, I will never forget 2015. Just one entire year. Climate wise the biggest difference between Dallas and OKC is OKC is a little bit colder in winter. Landscape? Looks the same. Looks the same until a little after you reach Kansas in my opinion.
Again, see the link I posted which is by Metro area.
Oh yes, the edit to your post after I replied.

DFW has wayyyy more domestic transplants than Greater Houston. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.
Very well. Though the stats don't go by Metro area, but rather by PCSA, which will operate a mix of MSA and CSA for the various places depending on whether or not a CSA exists.
It makes sense, though. There's really nothing in Houston's CSA outside of Greater Houston, whereas Dallas still has quite some other areas to pick up the slack.
I cant take a screenshot on my computer. What you can do is go to the "Advanced Search" tab on the top.
Then click on the "geographies" and it will bring up a drop down menu.
Then click on the Metro Areas tab.
Then click "Houston-Woodlands-Sugar Land" and "Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington" and hit "add to selection".
Then you can click the selection you want from the different tables.
Lots of good data on that. Youd probably enjoy it.
What I gathered:
- DFW has more Africans, but Houston has more Caribbeans; the gap between the Caribbeans is larger than the gap between Africans. Interestingly, Houston gained almost 3,000 Caribbeans, while DFW lost 500; this could be a percent error, like with most information that's small or that's close (see their overall black population).
- The black population gap is the same; it widens or shrinks, depending on the year.
- DFW is more diverse than what I thought; it's still much whiter, which takes away from the overall diverse feel. If Dallas had 500,000 to 1,000,000 less whites, then it would be neck and neck with Houston for diversity.
All cities on the Plains have similarities, Dallas included. The Great Plains can be its own category to some extent.
