Why Houston matters
Houston combines energy, the Texas Medical Center, and the largest U.S. port by tonnage. Manufactured housing communities along the I-10, I-45, and Beltway 8 corridors serve a deep and durable workforce, while RV parks along the Gulf Coast capture both contractor and snowbird demand.
