Dallas-Fort Worth area now has about 60,000 Jewish residents. Around 50,000 live on the Dallas side of the metroplex. The original Jewish residential area was probably just south of downtown, but during the period between WW1 and WW2 Jews began to locate in the neighborhoods north/northeast of downtown. Post WW2 saw the Hillcrest neighborhood become heavily Jewish, while the wealthiest Jews lived in nearby University Park or even in Highland Park. Jewish residents continue to live in those closer-in parts of North Dallas, but lots of Jews also moved further north into newer subdivisions. Today there are fairly large numbers of Jews living in far-north Dallas, Addison, Richardson, and even up in Plano. Some of these enclaves are probably closely associated with certain congregations, but I lack information to provide specifics.

The much smaller Fort Worth Jewish community originally settled on the near south side of town. In Post WW2 Fort Worth, Jews tended to live in the southwest part of the city in areas like Park Hill, Colonial CC area, TCU, Westcliff, Tanglewood, Overton Park, etc. There is also a fairly small Jewish population in Arlington and the northeastern suburbs closer to DFW airport.
