(2020) U.S.Census
We boast a low cost of living and more affordable housing options than in other parts of the Houston Metro – with average home prices around $180,000. Check out our family-friendly neighborhoods, 400 new builds on the way in south Pasadena or waterfront living. Plus, it’s easy to get connected to our community through your neighborhood, school, professional network or place of worship. And our community truly cares – whether it’s during times of celebration or times of hardship. Case in point: we have the largest volunteer fire department for a single municipality in the entire country. Couple this community spirit with our young, diverse residents and you’ll find this is a great place to call home.

Economic development refers to the sustained, long-term process of improving the economic well-being of a community.
It can be achieved through various means, including attracting and retaining businesses, developing an educated and skilled workforce, investing in infrastructure, supporting innovation, and promoting investment.
Governments and other community stakeholders play a critical role in promoting economic development. With these collaborative efforts, a productive and inclusive economy can be realized.
This #EconomicDevelopmentWeek, PEDC would like to recognize and thank our regional partners who work alongside our organization to maintain a prosperous community.
