The job is in Houston, TX. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.
How Houston compares. Among the 120 largest places in Texas, Houston is #1 by population, #114 for homeownership (#1 = highest), #88 for household income (#1 = highest), #49 for college degrees (#1 = most). Its county, Harris County, is #9 of 254 counties for average pay ($88,554).
Houston has 2,328,253 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 7.7% of the population of Texas. It covers 641 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 3,634 people per square mile. The median age is 34.4, 3% younger than the state median (34.4 against 35.6).
The median gross rent is $1,361 a month (rent plus utilities), about the same as the state median ($1,361 against $1,403). Over a year that is 25.2% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $277,800, which is 4.3 times the median household income ($64,813). 42.1% of households own their home, 33% below the state average (42.1% against 62.6%). A low ownership share points to a rental-heavy market with more apartments and shorter stays.
The Houston-Pasadena-The Woodlands, TX metropolitan area has 3,289,720 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $49,410 a year, 3% below the national median ($49,410 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (379,010 jobs, median $45,850); transportation and material moving (314,010 jobs, median $43,570); food preparation and serving related (307,980 jobs, median $28,530). The area is most specialised in architecture and engineering (1.4 times) and construction and extraction (1.3 times), where the share of workers is above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($126,630) and legal ($105,240). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Harris County was 4.6%. 67.1% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Harris County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.
Among workers, 67.7% drive alone, 3.2% use public transit, 2.0% walk, 13.0% work from home. 15.7% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 7% below the state average (15.7% against 16.9%).
36.6% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 8% above the state share (36.6% against 33.8%). 29.3% of residents were born outside the United States, 67% above the state share (29.3% against 17.6%). The poverty rate is 19.9%, 44% above the state rate (19.9% against 13.8%).
The warmest month is Aug, averaging 84°F (29.0°C), and the coolest is Jan at 51°F (10.3°C). About 1,246 mm (49 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Oct is the wettest month (128 mm) and Feb the driest (69 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.
Closest cities in this guide: Pearland (16 miles, rent 37% higher); Channelview (16 miles, rent 6% lower); Pasadena (17 miles, rent 11% lower); Atascocita (18 miles, rent 36% higher). Rent differences are against Houston; use the Compare tab to put any two cities side by side.
