The mission of the Houston Population Research Center (HPRC) is to collect and to disseminate data to understand social and demographic change in Houston, Texas — the nation’s fourth-largest city and one of its most diverse.
The HPRC coordinates with the other centers within the Kinder Institute to provide analytic and methodological support in the service of research that identifies solutions to the city’s most pressing problems around housing, health, education, and economic mobility.
Additionally, the HPRC serves as a hub that facilitates the collection and sharing of data to support faculty and students at Rice University who study socioeconomic disparities and population change.
