Making sense of life in America’s fourth largest city isn’t always easy. That’s why in 2019, Greater Houston Community Foundation launched Understanding Houston in partnership with the Kinder Institute for Urban Research.
Understanding Houston is a central resource featuring independent research organized in a way that empowers people throughout Greater Houston to take informed action — individually and collectively — to build a region that provides everyone the opportunity to reach their full potential.
To build Understanding Houston, we’ve worked collaboratively to aggregate data across multiple sources to provide an accessible, one-stop platform for understanding the key quality of life issues in Houston’s three most populous counties — Fort Bend, Harris, and Montgomery Counties. And we will continue to work with others as we discover more about the quality of life in our region and work in partnership to create a more vibrant region with opportunity for all.
