H.R. No. 887
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, Carrollton has been identified as the city with the
  nation's most economic class diversity by WalletHub; and
         WHEREAS, A financial planning website, WalletHub analyzed
  data regarding 350 of the nation's largest cities to determine
  which had the most balanced diversity of residents from all
  socioeconomic backgrounds; it defined "city" to encompass only
  specific municipalities and not their entire metropolitan areas;
  and
         WHEREAS, The metrics used by WalletHub included both income
  data and educational attainment, which serve as an indicator of the
  types of occupations represented; the site's experts conducted
  their analysis using the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index commonly
  employed in economics and other social sciences as a measure of
  diversity; and
         WHEREAS, Balanced economic diversity strengthens communities
  and enriches quality of life, and the residents of Carrollton may
  indeed take pride in this recognition; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
  Legislature hereby congratulate the city of Carrollton on its
  recognition by WalletHub as the nation's highest ranking community
  for economic class diversity; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for the city as an expression of high regard by the Texas
  House of Representatives.
