Stafford's ETJ - Fifth St.

[VicMan]

According to the U. S. Census, Fifth Street had 2,059 people in 2000. It is within Stafford's ETJ.

Stafford is surrounded by Houston, Sugar Land, and its small ETJ pocket. Why hasn't Stafford absorbed Fifth Street? Does it not want additional residents?

Also, remember that Stafford has a municipal school district (as in a school district controlled by the city) that formed in 1981 after a vote to secede from Fort Bend ISD (for Fort Bend County residents) and Houston ISD (for the few in Harris County) in 1977 was found constitutional.

Fifth Street is still within Fort Bend ISD.

If Stafford annexes the area within its ETJ, FBISD will lose more territory.

EDIT: I checked the FBISD zoning maps.

Fifth Street is divided between the following high schools:

* Dulles HS (Sugar Land)

* Marshall (Missouri City)

Fifth Street is divided between the following middle schools:

* Dulles MS (Sugar Land)

* Missouri City MS (Missouri City)

Fifth Street is divided between the following elementary schools:

* Dulles (Sugar Land)

* Glover (Missouri City)

* E. A. Jones (Missouri City)

* Quail Valley (Missouri City)

for as long as I can remember....5th street has always been the "black eye" of Mo. City/Stafford area..similar to 4 corners off of 1464...

I don't know when the area changed demographically but I attended EA Jones back in the 80s and used to go to the park back there...I remember one part was black and the rest hispanic with the whites living closer to 2234 in a small neighborhood

now, it's primarily hispanic and jammed packed back there

We can look at the U.S. Census figures and see how much Fifth Street changed...

EDIT: I cannot find 5th Street in the 1990 census (See http://factfinder.census.gov/servlet/DTGeo...ts=200586090640 )

For 2000, the population densities are:

* Fifth Street: 2,536.8/mi
