The 2020 census counted 151,950 residents, making it the second most populous city in Harris County after Houston and the 23rd most populous in Texas. The area was founded in 1893 by John H. Burnett of Galveston, who named it after Pasadena, California, for its lush vegetation. The local economy includes oilfield service, equipment and supply businesses, haulers, and the restaurants, hotels and shops that serve field crews.

Businesses near the Houston-area port and plant corridor often serve customers whose schedules depend on vessels, shutdowns and turnarounds. When a schedule slips, your costs do not slip with it. Crews are booked, trucks are on retainer and supplies are staged. The most useful habit is to ask each large customer how firm a schedule is, and to plan cash against the later date rather than the earlier one. A cushion sized to a two-week slip protects you from the most common surprise.
