North Texas is one of the best places in the U.S. for women in tech to live and work, a new report says, with Fort Worth on top locally.<\/p>\n

Fort Worth ranked No. 26 nationwide in SmartAsset’s new report, “Best and Worst Cities for Women in Tech \u2014 2026 Study,<\/a>” which compared the 50 biggest U.S. cities across four metrics: <\/p>\n

Gender pay gap \u2014 women’s median earnings as a percentage of men\u2019s median earnings in techThe share of all tech workers that are womenThe overall concentration of employment for tech workers, defined as “tech workers as a share of the local workforce”Women tech workers\u2019 median earnings, adjusted for regional price parity<\/p>\n

For the purpose of the study, tech workers are defined as “city residents employed in computer and mathematical occupations.”<\/p>\n

Fort Worth leads as the best city for women in tech North Texas, with Dallas (No. 32) and Arlington (No. 38) falling behind. There were seven Texas cities in total that earned spots in the report.<\/p>\n

The study’s findings show that more than 4,600 tech workers in Fort Worth are women, or 28.7 percent of the total tech workforce in the city. Tech workers in general make up 3.2 percent of the total Fort Worth workforce.<\/p>\n

However, women tech workers in Fort Worth have a sizeable gap to cross to receive equal pay compared to their male counterparts in the same industry. Women tech workers make more than $87,000 in median earnings after adjusting for regional price parity, which is 89.2 percent of what male tech workers make, SmartAsset found.<\/p>\n

There are only two U.S. cities where women in tech earn more than what their male counterparts: Miami and Memphis, Tennessee. Women tech workers in Miami make an adjusted $88,650 in median earnings, or 101.7 percent of what men in tech make. In Memphis, women make $84,718 in adjusted earnings, or 101.5 percent of what men in tech earn.<\/p>\n

This is the profile for women tech workers in Dallas and Arlington:<\/p>\n

Dallas:<\/p>\n

Women tech workers: 6,478Women tech workers, share of tech workforce: 25.5 percentWomen tech workers\u2019 estimated median earnings (adjusted): $83,245Women tech workers\u2019 earnings as a share of men\u2019s: 87.7 percentTech workforce concentration: 3.6 percent<\/p>\n

Arlington:<\/p>\n

The study asserted that women remain underrepresented in the nation’s overall tech sector, despite making up nearly half of the total workforce. Only 22.6 percent of the country’s tech labor force is made up of women, according to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Opportunities for women in tech can vary considerably by location, and these differences shape access to jobs, career advancement and earning potential,” the report’s author wrote. “In some places, women account for a larger share of tech workers, face narrower pay gaps and enjoy a stronger local labor market. In others, they may encounter a more challenging career environment.”<\/p>\n

The four other Texas cities that earned spots in the report are Austin (No. 6), Houston (No. 15), San Antonio (No. 42), and El Paso (No. 49).<\/p>\n
