Houston is the second largest DMA in Texas, after Dallas and has the largest Hispanic population among DMA’s in the state. Houston is the most populous city in Texas, and the fourth most populous city in the United States. It is a multicultural city, in part because of its many academic institutions and strong industries as well as being a major port city. Over 90 languages are spoken in the city, although Spanish is clearly second. The city has among the youngest populations in the nation due to the influx of immigrants into the area.
