Houston prides itself on being a melting pot of different cultures and a recent study by WalletHub ranked it among the top large cities for its vast diversity.
Its findings resulted in Houston ranking 27th overall and 9th among large cities in terms of ethnic diversity.
Houston was also ranked 39th out of 250 for its Ethnoracial Diversity, 25th in Linguistic Diversity, and 245th in Birthplace Diversity. "In such an environment, one has regular opportunities to meet and interact with people from a range of racial and ethnic groups and to develop friendships with some of them," Professor Jonathan Y. Okamura at UH Mānoa, Hawaiʻi told WalletHub.
"Even fleeting interactions with others not from our own racial or ethnic group provide circumstances that can affirm our shared membership in a common society," he added.
