Whether you live in a major metro area or in a small town, Texas is a great place to do business and build a home. The state is
one of the most business-friendly in the United States, with low taxes, a low cost of housing and a high quality of education.
Texas is home to the largest medical center in the nation and the #2 cancer center; 3 of the most affordable cities are in Texas.
Four cities rank in the top 10 big cities for home ownership; Texas’ six largest cities have a cost of living below the national
average. There are few states that can match the State’s current job opportunities, growth and residential quality of life. Texas
continues to reign as the nation's top ‘domestic migration destination’.

T" exas cities are clearly the place to be in terms of job creation, wealth
formation and overall growth.” -Forbes
