The Greater Houston area encompasses nearly 600 square miles. Houston is a diverse and international city, in part because of its many academic institutions and strong industries. It is the most ethnically diverse city in the US with more than 90 languages spoken here. Houston is also among the youngest populations in the nation and offers a wide array of dining, entertainment, and cultural opportunities.
