The city of Houston, Texas, contains many neighborhoods, ranging from planned communities to historic wards. There is no uniform standard for what constitutes an individual neighborhood within the city; however, the city of Houston does recognize a list of 88 super neighborhoods which encompass broadly recognized regions. According to the city, a super neighborhood is a "geographically designated area where residents, civic organizations, institutions and businesses work together to identify, plan, and set priorities to address the needs and concerns of their community."[1]
A list of the super neighborhoods, in the numerical order as assigned by the city, is shown below:
In addition to the recognized super neighborhoods, Houston is further divided into a number of other formal and informal regions, including special districts and individual subdivisions. An incomplete list of these communities and jurisdictions is provided below.
In Texas, municipal management districts (MMDs) are independent government agencies created by the Texas Legislature to provide an additional layer of funding for infrastructure and public services in urban areas.[2] Since the creation of the management district system in 1999, a variety of MMDs have been established in various business districts and neighborhoods across Houston; these organizations have taken visible roles in "branding" different areas of the city.[3] Management districts are funded by ad valorem taxes on commercial properties within their boundaries.[2]
As of 2016, there are 51 management districts in Greater Houston.[3] An incomplete list is provided below:[4]
