Dallas, Austin and Houston Lead in Workers Returning to the Office Among Largest US Cities

Dallas, Austin and Houston ranked first, second and third among large U.S. markets for what Kastle Systems defines as physical occupancy, according to aggregated and anonymized data early this month from the building security company. Notably, these three Texas markets all had physical occupancy exceeding 40%, a phenomenon not seen elsewhere in the nation and more than double the rate in cities such as San Francisco and New York. The average of the top 10 cities was 31.5% as of the latest weekly reading.
