[LEFT]Houston’s income level grew 133.6 percent over the past 20 years, and was the highest-ranking large metropolitan among the nation’s Top 100 cities, according to a study released Wednesday by Portfolio.com.
The “U.S. Uncovered” study found that the best opportunities for income growth (http://www.portfolio.com/special-reports/2010/10/13/el-paso-texas-sets-national-pace-for-income-growth?ana=e_pft - broken link) were actually not the larger metro areas. Houston ranked at No. 28, while New York City – the most populous city – ranked at No. 35; Los Angeles at No. 54; and Chicago at No. 73.
