WILMER – The city of Wilmer’s population has grown over the past year according to the North Central Texas Council of Governments.
A recent report by NCTCOG reported in January 2021 Wilmer’s population was at 6,100.
As of the end of January this year, that number had increased to 6,690.
The city approved a resolution last month recognizing the population increase, attributing the growth to new single family homes and a new multi-family apartment complex, which was a strong factor in the growth from Jan. 1, 2021 to Dec. 31, 2021.
Fortune-500 companies, in addition to residents, are also finding Wilmer a favorable hotspot.
The city was recently recognized in the 2022/2023 Texas Economic Development Guide by Site Selection magazine.
Not only has the large privately-owned medical supply manufacturer and distributor Medline embraced what they have found in this community, but so have big names like Ace Hardware, Makita, Yokohama, Proctor and Gamble, Whirlpool, and Nike.
Site Selection magazine wrote, “Wilmer has become the go-to business destination for major brands wanting to get goods to the market quickly.”
