It is also highly diverse – more than 90 languages are spoken throughout the Houston area – and it is home to the third-largest Hispanic and third-largest Mexican population in the United States.
Corporate expansion in the area is at an all-time high, and the job growth in the high-tech and health care industries has resulted in new commercial real estate opportunities. New industry is attracted to Texas’ low-tax, low-regulation economic climate, which is supported by a diverse pool of highly skilled, multilingual workers, 25 percent of which have completed a four-year college degree, according to the City. Houston has historically been a top 10 metro leading the nation in population and job growth, according to Colliers International, and Site Selection magazine recently ranked Houston 2nd as a top metro for new and expanding corporate facilities.
