Houston is the largest city in Texas and the fourth largest in the United States, home to roughly 2.3 million people across Harris County and a metro area of more than seven million.

Sprawling, humid, and famously diverse, Houston covers over 600 square miles with no formal zoning code, giving its neighbourhoods a character all their own.
