WASHINGTON — The Houston metro area, a vibrant region known for its dynamic economy and cultural diversity, has seen significant growth and change in its immigrant population. Nearly one-quarter of the population in the nine-county metro area is comprised of immigrants, well above the Texas share of 17 percent and U.S. share of 13.6 percent. In fact, just under half of all children under age 18 in the Houston area live in a household with at least one immigrant parent.
