Is Richland Hills the same as North Richland Hills?
No — Richland Hills and North Richland Hills are two separate incorporated cities in Tarrant County, although they share a name root and are geographic neighbors. Richland Hills (~8,128 residents) was incorporated in 1953 and sits south of NRH. North Richland Hills (~71,564 residents) was incorporated in 1953 separately and is roughly nine times larger by population. Both are served by Birdville ISD. They have separate city halls, councils, police departments, and tax rates. Sources: City of Richland Hills (richlandhills.com); City of North Richland Hills (nrhtx.com); U.S. Census Bureau.
