The newest report, entitled “Public Perceptions in
Remarkable Times: Tracking Change Through 24 Years of
Houston Surveys,” was released in November 2005. This
48-page full-color report, complete with 39 charts and two
tables, provides a comprehensive assessment of Houston's
ongoing economic and demographic transformations and of the
way area residents have been responding to them. It tracks
the changing views of economic opportunities, the mounting
importance of quality-of-life issues, and the surge of
interest on the part of Anglo suburbanites in someday moving
to the city, even as sprawl continues. It documents the
public's growing acceptance of diversity in general, and
explores the complex nature of intergroup relationships,
ethnic differences, and racial attitudes in this time and
place of burgeoning diversity. In the conclusion, it points
to some of the central challenges that will shape this
city's prospects in the years ahead.
