Houston is a large metropolis in Texas, the 9th largest in the US by land area, and the 4th most populous city in the US. It is located 165 miles east of Austin, 88 miles west of the Louisiana border, and 250 miles south of Dallas. The climate is humid subtropical, with a wet season (April to October) and a dry season (November to March). It is not part of “Tornado Alley” like most of Northern Texas, but supercell thunderstorms have been known to bring some tornadoes to the area.
So what attracts people to live in Houston? Well for one, business and employment opportunities. Not only is Houston the hub for oil and gas industries, but it’s also a major center for health care and manufacturing. Complement that with affordable housing…your paycheck goes a longer way in Houston than in other major metro areas. It has a median monthly rent of only $995 (but it has its share of expensive places as well). Home to about 6.7 million residents, it continues to attract new people from all over the country and immigrants from foreign lands.
