Houston is the most diverse city in the U.S according to analysis by Wallethub, a finance company.

United States of America is already a demographically diverse country and becoming more so every day. Diversity is great for the economy – it brings fresh skills, technologies and perspectives. When economies freely welcome and capitalize on new ideas, they often do better. Those that rely on outdated methods and specialized industries, on the other hand, are more vulnerable to market shifts.

With demographic changes taking place in the US over the years, it is expected that the current largest ethnic group, currently non-Hispanic whites, will no longer make up a majority of the population by 2045. As the United States becomes more diverse, it must combat prejudice and encourage togetherness, and there is more work to be done.
