The Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex has become one of the fastest-growing Indian-American communities in the United States, with over 200,000 Indians concentrated in Plano (sometimes called 'Plano, India' for its Indian density), Frisco, Irving, Richardson, and Carrollton. Dallas' Indian community is driven by the tech corridor (Toyota, AT&T, Texas Instruments, and hundreds of IT companies along the State Highway 121 and Legacy Drive corridors), healthcare (UT Southwestern Medical Center), and the Dallas-Fort Worth area's general economic boom. The Sri Venkateswara Temple in Bridgewater, Irving and the Chinmaya Mission centre in Plano are major spiritual anchors.

Sunrise in Dallas ranges from 6:13 AM in June to 7:27 AM in December, a 74-minute seasonal variation. DFW's latitude (32.78°N) means more seasonal variation than Gulf cities.
