Benchmark City Trend Data
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.
