Kinder Houston Area Survey
Researchers administered a series of questions to a representative sample of almost 3,200 adults in Harris County in January and February, with about 61 percent responding. That cohort will now serve as a permanent panel, receiving questions year after year for the annual survey as well as for topic-specific quarterly surveys.
About 72 percent said they support efforts to close income gaps, and 63 percent said not enough is being spent on social programs to help people experiencing poverty. Forty percent of area residents said they would be unable to come up with $400 in an emergency. That also varies by race, as 20 percent of white and Asian respondents they would struggle obtaining the money while nearly 70 percent of Black and half of Hispanic respondents said the same.The Houston area is also becoming more socially liberal, with younger population especially driving the direction of public opinion, researchers said.
