Bayou City locals
Houstonians are residents or natives of Houston, Texas—the fourth-largest city in the United States and the largest in the American South.
The term encompasses the diverse population of the greater Houston metropolitan area: Houstonians are used to humidity.
Like many demonyms, it can also function as an adjective: the Houstonian way of life.
