How to prepare and behave

This is editorial guidance, not information from the employer.

Know your rights as a candidate and an employee:

The city

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).

The place in numbers

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).

Housing

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.

Work and pay

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.

Getting around

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%).

People and education

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%).

Climate

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.

Nearby cities to compare

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.
