Making a difference in Houston

Greater Houston area

Houston Houston ranks among the leading metropolitan areas in the U.S. and is the fourth largest city and the fifth largest Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) in the nation. Metro Houston area, which consists of 10 counties, grew by more than 125,000 people between July 2015 and July 2016, making it the second-fastest growing metropolitan region in the country last year. Despite the fall in oil prices, Metro Houston’s population gain remains solid. New estimates will be available this spring.

Houston is internationally recognized as the global energy capital, with virtually every segment of the energy industry represented by over 5,000 firms in the region.

Houston is also home to The Texas Medical Center (TMC) - the world's largest medical center with over 92,500 employees including physicians, scientists, researchers and other advanced degree professionals in the life sciences. In addition, Houston has the seventh largest U.S. container port, The Port of Houston, a leader in foreign tonnage and imports.

Our strategic location represents a winning combination for business growth and increased industrial development in the area. Besides Houston's diverse growth industries and educated/skilled workforce, Houston's business appeal is the fact that it is one of the least expensive major U.S. cities in which to conduct business. Significant benefits include the absence of state or city income taxes, no state property tax, as well as an exceptionally low cost of living index.
