Ruth N. Lopez Turley, PhD, Professor of Sociology, Director: Kinder Institute for Urban Research Rice University, returns with the latest data about Houston. What responses, priorities, and leadership are needed to address the current conditions. She will show how "magical" numbers can be as they serve as predictions for our city and the U.S. itself.
The 43rd annual Kinder Houston Area Survey provides an unparalleled look at current conditions in the region as well as the “Houston of Tomorrow.” While the same challenges that have weighed on the region over the last few years — crime and safety, affordable housing and the economy — remain at the forefront of people’s thinking, survey results show Houstonians are excited about the next 10 to 20 years and how emerging opportunities may reshape their lives, careers and communities.
