Historical Info
Katy is historically an agricultural area with rice as the major crop and soybeans having been added as an alternate crop in the late 1950's. The Katy area has been the site of one of the United States largest gas fields since the early forties; this has added greatly to the economy of the area. 

Housing
Despite a robust and expanding economy, Katy remains affordable. The median home value is $169,700. The median household income is nearly $52,000 per year. Housing in Katy ranges from apartments and condominiums to large estate homes with acreage to enjoy and maintain horses - and others with championship golf courses as their backyard. Subdivisions abound with tennis courts, swimming pools, and endless amenities for their residents. With a modest cost of living and a well-paid workforce, Katy makes good economic sense for most people considering relocation. Combine local economics with a small, close-knit atmosphere and you've got a wonderful choice for raising a family. Housing prices being what they are, even a young family can find a starter home. 

Education
The public school system in Katy is very strong. The Katy Independent School District oversees 28 schools and serves the educational needs of nearly 32,000 students per year. There is a very low student-to-teacher ratio throughout the classrooms. This along with a supportive community contributes to the outstanding test results the students achieve.
