CITY OF HOUSTON
Houston is the fourth largest city in the United States, with a population of approximately 2.4 million people within city limits. It covers roughly 670 square miles — making it one of the largest land areas of any American city, a product of aggressive annexation throughout the 20th century. The city is celebrated for its diversity: 46% of residents identify as Hispanic or Latino, 23% as Black or African American, and 7% as Asian.
The city is governed by a mayor and a 16-member City Council: 11 members elected from geographic districts and 5 elected at-large citywide. Houston is notable for operating without traditional zoning laws, relying instead on deed restrictions and land use regulations to shape development. The city provides police, fire, libraries, parks, permitting, and municipal courts, among many other services.
Houston sits entirely within Harris County, but the city's boundaries do not match the county's. Significant portions of Harris County fall outside Houston city limits, including major incorporated cities like Pasadena, Baytown, and Sugar Land, and small portions of Houston extend into Fort Bend and Montgomery counties.
Population and demographic figures sourced from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 1-Year Estimates, 2024. Population and boundaries reflect city limits as of 2024 and may not capture recent annexations. For current figures visit data.census.gov.
