Having the largest black population west of the Mississippi River, Houston is known as a center of African-American political power, education, economic prosperity, and culture. There is no denying, Houston is an emerging Black Mecca and for those African Americans who are considering relocating for better opportunities, Houston should be a strong candidate.
H-Town does not garner as much Black media attention as places like Atlanta or DC, but it’s starting to gain more popularity in Black America as a community with good schools, reputable health care, and excellent employment opportunities. If you are considering moving on to bigger and better things, you should think about joining the 250 people who relocate to Houston on a daily.

This comprehensive list has definitely convinced me that Houston is where I need to be! Lived in Dallas for a number of years, but never felt welcomed and also missed a feeling of black culture. Always felt so welcomed whenever I’ve visited Houston!

[@porschehamilton9717]

This is exactly why I left Dallas. I lived in htx for a few months during covid and never felt more at home. I'll be back permanently in just a few weeks. Can't wait! Dallas made me feel very unwelcome and it's so extremely expensive

[@davidsemper6181]

I’ve from the Bronx New York and there’s always been a whisper in my ear telling me to go to Texas. I love it already and I’ve never even been there. I see a lot of young Black Millionaires and genuine hood people. I love the accent,the women, the food. I love the whole Texas culture. Shout out Houston and every other place the represents Texas. 💯

[@jenniferwilliams6494]

Side note...that house pri e has gone up due ro people moving here and offering way over asking. That also makes it hard for TX residents to own because the pay doesn't go up. Just my two cents

[@Adaawo]

It's because housing price went up around the world. There is no where that wasn't impacted

[@iamseangreen]

I agree. The same thing happened in Raleigh NC when people from NY/NJ came down for cheaper prices. So now you’ll see people from VA/NC/SC relocate to ATL and Houston and Dallas to get the next discount the discount always goes south, but the pay scale goes up as you go North.

[@kachk.p1001]

Yes, but if you buy land then build it's cheaper. My son along with several friends bought 5.62 acres of land, had it plated then had homes built for them then sold the three lots and was able to build for average $155k.

Texas is a prison for profit state like Georgia, where they have to keep the cells filled. You'll go to Harris County for the smallest thing, like jaywalking.

I’m living in Dallas currently been here since 2019 and been thinking about moving to Houston. I come there all the time throughout the year and feel like it caters more to black people than the Dallas area. Only thing that concerns me is that there are many Houston born/raised people now living in DFW area and they all say they moved here for more money and that’s what always makes me second guess the move.

[@grayscar05]

Houston job market is heavily in oil/gas, healthcare, and the restaurant industry Outside that, it's really challenging finding a good stable job that pays well. Dallas has a more diverse and stronger economy with better jobs that pay better. But the property taxes are slightly cheaper in Houston than Dallas if you plan to buy a home. But yeah Houston caters to Black people better than Houston but I like diversity

The problem is most cities in America that are built much better than Houston are either too expensive for the average Black American or has a very low Black population. Houston biggest cons is the incompetent infrastructure/traffic/ endless sprawl and weather. Those are reasons that make me want to move out of Houston at times. But than I look at other options and at my late 30s with a family, staying here at least till my kids graduate might be the best move. Now if you don’t care about predominantly White spaces and cost of living than there’s much better cities to move to in Houston. The average Black American though clearly prefers cities that offer economic opportunities, affordability and Good size black culture and representation. Or perhaps more Black Americans should move to smaller cities.

I had the privilege of visiting Houston last month on my Southern Tour. I had been to Houston in the late 70s and it was was nothing like it is now. As Houston has a very large African American presence it was obvious they are not as progressive. While many blew me away with their business ideas I did not see their businesses thriving or supported. I was told it was because of the day of the week. However the weather and the distance to get to a venue were equally as bad it made me wonder about the climate change issue. Houston is a Oil town and the people there not only did not care about the future of the environment they actually knew nothing about it. The cost of living was lower in the suburbs just like every other city. But restaurant price were very high. My neice was discriminated against in the Woodlands and was not allowed into a roof top Lounge clearly with white patrons that was clearly playing R&B and Hip Hop music. Overall the weather and driving required is way too much for me.

Moved to Houston in 2013 and have been here since then, it’s a lot to do and drivable to the beaches and do not sleep on galveston, yes the water looks that way but if your want that crystal blue water then go a little down south of the gulf it’s not far. It’s a lot of businesses and nice places for black and different cultures as well, third ward is in the east end of downtown if you want black neighbors with hot real-estate and being able to walk downtown to clubs and amazing hotels and sporting events it’s a great place for you. Houston is amazing and it’s pretty dang big ( pause) from the woodlands to sugar land to katy to pearland Houston will always keep you with things to do and you won’t be robbed everywhere you go like atlanta 😂 but stay away From the grey hound and McDonald’s downtown. If you’ve lived in a major city you know what’s next to it .

I havent been to the beach yet. where exactly do you settle to swim in crystal clear waters?

[@RayBlack713]

@@chanellw5586 the water is everything but crystal clear

[@bcandydrews859]

People go in Galveston water all the time and it looks like sewage almost it's so dirty. None of the water in the Houston area beaches are great the best water would be down near corpus area but definitely not near Houston metro

[@youtubeguy9316]

@@bcandydrews859 it’s lagoons around Houston that are man made and man galveston is still cool and the water is brown because it’s just always looked like that, find pics from 100 years ago in Galveston the water was still brown and it’s always been brown because of the sand. If someone could figure it out I am sure they would do something about it but it is what it is besides of a beach is all someone cares about enjoy florida while paying New York prices now or people can go back to the west coast and have fun paying 1.3 million for a three bedroom house. Galveston is a side attraction to Houston it’s not Houston.

Can yall do a video like this for Dallas-Ft Worth? I'm learning to settle here and more of my black family from Milwaukee are coming here too

[@kennethmcgaughey3681]

Compared to Houston, Dallas falls short when it comes to black culture. Black people there seem to only reside on one side in both cities, which is crazy. Lots of racism. Not a lot of black entrepreneurs. No one goes to Paul Quinn university… There’s a lot of reasons not to go to Dallas

Houston is a transportation hub but it was never mentioned. I felt this could been better with explaining blue collar jobs such as trades. Much of this was good but some of it was fluff that could have been combined.

Hope this video is true ..Im trying to hurry and leave Memphis as its totally "segregated" and black people hate each other and have no sense of togetherness to the point where its a no win and its super depressing. I thought it was just the spirit of the deep south but Ive been noticing dallas and Houston are a bit more different so Im going to just gather all these videos especially this one and just get my kids and leave . thanks for the info!

I've lived there, and I still have family there; however, I will never consider living there again. If I were to move back to Texas I would definitely move to San Antonio.

The Large Amount Of People moving Here Has Made It Extremely Difficult To Find Affordable Housing, The Medical Center Sounds Great Paper But They Treat You Like Shit, Little To No Help When It Comes To Housing Or Medical Care, Traffic Sucks And You NEED A Vehicle Or Good Luck Spending 2+ Hours Getting Frm One Part Of The City To The Next. As Far As Friends If Your An Introvert This Is Not The Place For You, Everyone Is Very Competitive So Not A Lot Of Opportunity For Entrepreneurship. Scamming Is Literally Where Everyone Is Getting Their Money So Be Careful Who You Share You Personal Business With. And If You’re From A Fast Pace City Houston Is SLOWWWWW 😒😩

San Antonio may be 64% Hispanic but Census Study’s show that San Antonio’s black population is increasing due to affordable cost of living, and job opportunities. It went from 6.9% to 7.4 surpassing Austin’s black population and it is ranked by Forbes as “One Of The Best Cities Where African-Americans Are Doing The Best Economically.”
