Public Perceptions in Remarkable Times: Tracking Change Through 24 Years of Houston Surveys

Houston Area Survey, 1982-2005

Scenes around Houston that speak to its arts and culture, cowboy boots, theater sign, chili peppers

Drawing on more than 20 years of survey data, this report seeks to tell the story of Houston and its communities.

Using identical questions across the years, with new items added periodically, this annual series of countywide, random-digit-dialed, computer-assisted surveys has tracked America’s fourth largest city in the midst of fundamental transformation. No other metropolitan area in the nation has been the focus of a long-term study of this scope. None more clearly exemplifies the remarkable trends that are radically reconstructing the social and political landscape of urban America.
