Houston is one of the most economically diverse metros in the country — and one of its most globally connected. Known as the Energy Capital of the World, the city also anchors the Texas Medical Center, a massive port, and a thriving aerospace presence tied to NASA’s Johnson Space Center.

From refinery corridors to world-class hospitals, from international trade routes to master-planned suburbs like The Woodlands and Katy, Houston’s economy runs deep and wide. It’s a city built on industry, immigration, and resilience — with housing markets as varied as its population.
