How fast is Fate growing, and what's the current population?

May 13, 2026

Fate's population reached 18,423 in the 2020 U.S. Census and is projected to be roughly 32,000 in 2026, reflecting double-digit annual growth that has placed Fate among the fastest-growing cities in Texas for most of the last decade. Growth is driven by housing demand from Dallas commuters and Fate's location in Rockwall County.
