What's the explanation? Just the fact of more land available for exurban growth in Tarrant or there were also other factors explaining this gap?

Tarrant is a cheap county with land for growth, Dallas, comparatively isn't. Americans will drive further for a big, cheap house.
Basically Tarrant is the "Sunbelt" of Dallas.
