City Profile
A key element of Southlake’s Financial Trend Monitoring System includes identifying how Southlake’s financial
condition compares with that of selected benchmark cities. Although there are differences between cities such as
transportation networks, geographical constraints, population, infrastructure and budgets, it is helpful for a city to
identify peer cities that have similar conditions to its own or are located in the same labor market, in order to best
assess its own fiscal health.
Southlake has identified eighteen benchmark cities within the Dallas-Fort Worth region. The list of these cities can
be seen below. By collecting and analyzing data from these cities, the City of Southlake is in a better position to know
how well we are performing and in what ways we may need to make adjustments to ensure the City’s fiscal health and
sustainability.
