Despite the two cities being similar in Upper/Lower overall percentages, check out the graphic differences:

The Rise of Residential Segregation by Income | Pew Social & Demographic Trends





Houston | Pew Social & Demographic Trends
Dallas | Pew Social & Demographic Trends

Comparing the two, does it appear that Houston has more middle/upper class closer in the core (central neighborhoods) vs Dallas?
There definitely seems to be a lot more red not only in Dallas but in FW as well. There seems to be a total lack of affluence in FW. I do question the accuracy of this map. I see the campus of Rice University in Houston charted in red, while I see other neighborhoods such as Seabrook in S.E. Harris county uncolored at all and I know that area is highly affluent. I also doubt that Southwest Houston is as solid red as this chart suggest.

I am so confussed! I need to know what is better to live in resume, if is HOUSTON, OR DALLAS OR AUSTIN . I am trying to look information correctly, because I live in nj. I am looking a nice place where the crime be low, where I can find a job a full time specially in Special Education and can get a place to live nice and can keep my kids safety. Place when can get good benefits for my mom who have alzhaimer and my husband can get a job. I don't care too much about parties, but I would like to see good restaurants and good shopping centers. A place with good salaries no like florida, I lived there before and had to come back to the North again. Very simple can somebody can tell me in conclusion what is the best!

It sounds like you want to move to DALLAS.

It is a city made for Family living.

Seriously. But check it out yourself.
Don't take MY word for it. I'm form Dallas.

Of course i'm going to say Dallas.

I'm just being honest...
