Many of the zip codes in Cypress, Magnolia, Spring, Tomball, and Porter have experienced triple digit growth in African American population since 2000 and are expected to continue at least double digit growth for the next 5 years.
Overall, home prices are on the higher end for the metropolitan area; however there are some moderately priced areas in Tomball, Humble and parts of Spring. African Americans from the Northern sections of Houston are especially attracted to this area as are Black Migrants from outside of the Houston metro. Families are particularly attracted to the school districts, quality of life, proximity to work, and are less concerned with having to live exclusively among other African Americans. The school districs of Tomball, Magnolia, and Cypress-Fairbanks all have excellent reputations. Spring and Humble ISD have a mix of high and lower preforming schools.
