Together, we are measuring what matters to do what matters.

Understanding Houston is a collaborative initiative led by the Greater Houston Community Foundation to empower us all with the information we need to act — individually and collectively — to build a Houston region that provides everyone the opportunity to reach their full potential.

At www.understandinghouston.org, we offer a central, online resource that aggregates independent data from over 50 sources for over 200 indicators across nine quality of life topics for the three most populous counties—Fort Bend, Harris, and Montgomery.
