DescriptionBy ELIZABETH LANGTON / The Dallas Morning News

North Texas' late entry to the economic slowdown allowed it to keep adding people last year – fewer than before, but still more than any other metro area for the second straight year, new census figures show.

The figures, to be released today, show that the Dallas-Fort Worth area added 146,532 people in 2007-08, even as the region grew at a slower pace than 23 other metropolitan areas.

Kaufman, Collin, Ellis and Denton, while among the nation's top 50 fastest-growing counties, also saw their growth rates drop. But the latter three each moved up in the rankings, a telling sign that other areas of the country are seeing steeper drops in growth.
