Founded in the 1840s, Duncanville experienced rapid growth in the 1950s and ’60s with the construction of Interstate 20 and Highway 67. The population of Duncanville, estimated at 40,948, is characterized by a stable, hard-working workforce that maintained low levels of unemployment, even during the most challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite being at 92% buildout, Duncanville continues to be an excellent location for redevelopment and adaptive reuse projects. Its Tier 1 status, short commutes to downtown Dallas, Arlington, and Fort Worth, a gainfully employed workforce, and strategic position in the Southwest Dallas region with easy access to Interstate 35 and 45 via Interstate 20 makes our community a unique place for successful redevelopment.
