The number of housing units in Sugar Land and Missouri City, including apartments, grew as well between 2010 and 2015, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Missouri City saw its housing stock increase by over 14 percent while the population expanded by 9.24 percent.

However, officials—especially in Sugar Land--have said there is little vacant land left on which to add new housing.

Meanwhile, officials with the Houston-Galveston Area Council are projecting a major influx of new residents to Fort Bend County over the coming decades.
