It covers a relatively small area (a bit larger than Seattle) and for being the core of a 7 million people metropolis, it's striking how few people live inside that area. Growth it's also disappointing, half of the pace of the metro areas as a whole, indicating it will keep sprawling.
I'll revisit Houston soon as that's only the inner one. They have another two: Beltway 8 and the Grand Parkway. |
That's a lot lower than I thought, too. I thought there would be a million easily inside I-610, but then I forget just how physically big the City of Houston is. I'm guessing there's more people inside Atlanta's perimeter than Houston's, which is not something I would have ever predicted.
If you land at Houston Hobby airport and come in from the west, the city seems a lot denser.
