If you’re new to Houston or thinking about relocating here, you might be wondering, “Where do Houstonians work?” Like most big cities, Houston has several major employment centers outside of the traditional downtown core. Some, like the Energy Corridor and Texas Medical Center, reflect Houston’s unique dominance in energy and healthcare.
We’re used to hearing that Houston is the fourth-largest city in the United States, but the Greater Houston Partnership has identified more than 50 areas where Houston ranks No. 1 and No. 2, such as the nation’s “best city for Millennials” and “most diverse city.”

Elyson is partnering with Katy-based Clothed by Faith to collect new or gently used clothing on Mon., Aug. 5 and Tues., Aug. 6.
