I used to live in Missouri City about 10 years ago. I see so much change in Pear Land over the last 5 years (My aunt lives there). I think because Broadway serves as a main street and everything is there I like it more than Missouri City.

Plus I will take 288 traffic over 59 Traffic any day. Plus Almeda serves as an alternative when 288 gets out of hand.

The stats on the black pop may be old. It has been growing really quickly. we will see after the census results come out. I have been seeing lots more black people living there now than 5 years ago

That sounds like a pretty good example of a diverse, middle-class community.

Also, a retraction of my previous post: Rockville is actually less than 10% black. I could've sworn it would be at least 20%, but meh. Burtonsville seems to fit the bill though.

I lived in Houston and I have to say that DC takes it. WOW what a great city. I was just there a couple of days ago and it was VERY intergrated...which I loved. I would live there in a heartbeat if the cost of living wasn't so high. Alot of black people in the DC are pretty well off and educated...even more so than Atlanta(yeah I lived there too).

^^That whites and blacks are even more segregated in Houston than I initially thought?

THe integration in Houston seems to be the southwest section ...The integration in D.C is in the middle where it seems both sides of the metro converge on the city and into Mongomery county

There probably tied, If looking to move to one, base youre choice on a bunch of other things, people shouldn't be one of them, they are both incredibly diverse, although I wouldn't be shockced if houston is more diverse, while D.C would be more historical race lines of Black and white, just from my personal experiences in both cities

The people in a metro is important too. People live where they feel comfortable. I am not comparing DC or Houston to either of these, but I would not feel comfortable living in Amish country, in many parts of Utah, or even in some parts of California or Texas. I hated the lack of diversity in San Anonio when I lived there. I survived, but there is no point living in a place you don't feel comfortable
