Houstonians more supportive of racial equity and public education, Rice survey shows
Jamaal Ellis, Houston Chronicle / ContributorDr. Stephen Klineberg’s final survey of the Houston area leaves him with hope. Yes, residents are concerned about the economy and crime, and their mental health has not improved even as the COVID-19 pandemic has begun to wane, but it’s not all doom and gloom, according to the 2022 Kinder Houston Area Survey released Tuesday.
Still, there’s no denying that Houstonians have real concerns about the state of the city. Twenty-eight percent of the survey’s 1,958 randomly selected respondents said that the economy was their biggest concern, and crime closely followed with 25 percent. “No one picks up the phone anymore,” Klineberg said. “But this is how its done everywhere now, and it seems to work.”
People protest for abortion rights Tuesday, May 3, 2022, at Bob Casey United States Courthouse in Houston. A leaked opinion draft showed the Supreme Court may undo legal protections for abortion set by Roe v. Wade.Klineberg was glad to see, for the first time since the survey began, that a majority of non-Hispanic white people, 51 percent, agree that people of color don’t have the same opportunities as them — a 15 percent rise since 2020.
