Not that many people know the counties inside New York City. Does anyone know that Brooklyn is coterminous with Kings County, Manhattan with New York County, Staten Island with Richmond County. The only well known county in the area is Westchester County due to early TV shows set in the suburbs.
The only well-known county in Greater Los Angeles is Orange County (which gets confused with the chopper show that is actually in the county near NYC) (San Buena)ventura, San Bernardino, and Riverside Counties is not well-known outside of California and the Nevada border towns. Los Angeles County itself is lumped in as "L.A." (city).
Yep, pretty much everything you said here is correct. Although, I will say, Dade County is pretty famous.
lol, its funny that the people in Fulshear refer to Houston as an urban concrete jungle, and some A holes on City Data want to call it suburban becase the people are not tripping over themselves like they do in the Northeast

Well to be honest I don't know a whole lot about Fort Bend County, but I do know alot about Gwinnett County.
I think topics like this are hard, because there will be very few people that are experts in both places.
I do want to make a quick note at one or two things that are different between the counties in the stats... and a comment or two on how that affects them.
Fort Bend County is almost double the land area as Gwinnett Co. It also has a smaller population. Most of it's growth appears to be radial out of Houston for it's economic/residential drivers.
In contrast Gwinnett's growth is going to be a little bit older, but it also has economic driver's from two directions. One is the city of Atlanta to the southwest, but the other is the north metro Atlanta, which it is apart of and extending further west. (About half of Metro Atlanta is to the northside of town outside of the perimeter/intown areas)
If you doubled the land size of Gwinnett County leading out from the city it's currently population would be closer to 1m-1.1m people instead of 800,000 for a more apples to oranges comparison.
In many respects they are probably similar, but I think Gwinnett's growth is a couple of decades ahead of Fort Bend's and/or closer to the core metropolitan growth.
I didn't readily find any current employment numbers for Fort Bend... I really don't care to spend much time into figuring it out either... if there are any Fort Bend boosters who know off hand...
By the starting numbers and its growth age... I would think southern Hall County and Forsyth Co. might be more similar. (just keep in mind for comparisons GA counties are tiny in land area)

Yeah; your post clearly shows you're very ignorant about Fort Bend County.
You don't know what Fort Bend County is about; yet you tried to downplay it.
I'm not trying to downplay anything... ?
I looked at the numbers and described them... I also looked at aerial imagery and looked at its growth patterns and it is very typical of an up and coming suburban county.
Please tell me what I said that is wrong... you seem to be trying to argue with me, but I still don't understand why or for what reason.
