Perhaps, but the problem with that is that most, if not all of Missouri City is also FBISD. Though not very different in size, the two cities have very different ethnic make-ups.

Fort Bend county is overall very diverse, but generally, each area can be completely different.

The FBISD numbers have been thrown up here before and from what I remember it didn't go well with others outside the area pretending to be the experts... would rather not go through that again.

Below is the Ft. Bend ISD Demographics, but that includes all areas within the county.
Classroom Profile

Enrollment ?67,780
Economically Disadvantaged30.6%
Breakdown by Ethnicity
White24.3%
Black31.8%
Hispanic23.0%
Asian/Pacific Islander20.6%
American Indian/Alaska Native0.2%

Those numbers are quite shocking!

Those numbers are different from the actual county's demographics. That's why I'm shocked!

Sugar Land has relatively few Blacks and Hispanics in the city limits, and is primarily White and Asian. You might be thinking of areas that are actually southwest Houston but have Sugar Land postal addresses.
Not sure about Spring.

I said Sugar Land and that surrounding area. Sugar Land does have a handful of Blacks and that's because mostly everyone Black in that area is in Missouri City. Buut it's so close to Sugarland I loop them together.

People seem to loop cities together all the time, so I'm not surprised by this.

I'm currently in a community that is caucasian, jamaican, austrian, romanian, russian, south american (as well as other hispanic groups), canadian, african-american...i don't think i missed anyone! This is what I consider truly diverse. These people are all my friends come from very different cultures and speak different languages (they all speak english, though). I LOVE this! I hope I can find a community like this when we move.

[SouthernBoy205]

Where's that community?

[Ellen Pitts]

Raleigh/Durham NC. Durham tends to be very diverse, probably because of Duke University.

May I ask: Is there a nice Caribbean presence in Houston?
