Hi Driscoll,
It's definitely not by choice that we don't have Houston-area data. We don't choose which areas to report on based only on size, but rather on the quality of data we have there. We want to make sure the reports we do issue are as accurate as possible.
Texas, unfortunately, is a non-disclosure state, meaning we can't get public records regarding sales transactions. This is an important tool for us when compiling the quarterly reports. We have data for places like Austin and Dallas because we have access to MLS data there, but we don't have this ability in Houston.
I'm sorry I couldn't be more help, but I hope my explanation makes sense!

After receiving your email regarding the major metro areas of the us, I looked for my hometown Houston. Even though Houston is the 4th largest metroplex in this great nation of ours, it was nowhere to be found. I find this almost criminally negligent on zillow's part and leads me to question the accuracy of the rest of data!
