Welcome
Welcome to the Web site of the Houston Area Survey (HAS). Conducted in the early spring of every year since 1982, these annual computer-assisted countywide telephone surveys have interviewed 27 scientifically selected successive representative samples of Harris County residents. This may well be the longest continuous public opinion and demographic survey of any city in the world. The HAS provides an objective and continually updated assessment of the remarkable economic and demographic changes that have been taking place in Houston during this period and reveals what Houston-area residents think about the ongoing trends. Survey topics include: education, crime, economic outlooks, health care, taxation, community services, discrimination, immigration, interethnic relationships, abortion and homosexuality, the environment, land-use control, and transportation.
