Houston at a glance
Houston sits inside Nielsen DMA 6 (Houston). The
metro's population is ~2.30M inside the city
proper, with the DMA covering a larger surrounding area. Proxaro
targets this metro specifically; you can reach it with
X-PX-City: houston or X-PX-Dma: 6 depending on
whether you want tight city scope or full DMA rotation.
Energy, port economy, Latin American trade
Houston's commercial geo-IP pattern differs from Dallas in two material ways: Comcast is the primary residential ISP (not AT&T), and the Houston DMA (618) carries a distinct Latin-American-oriented ad creative rotation that the DFW DMA does not. Houston-IP captures are the right answer for Gulf Coast energy-sector creative, for Port of Houston shipping-related B2B, and for any retail targeting Houston's Mexican-American demographic concentration.

- Mobile leaders: AT&T Mobility (AS20057), T-Mobile (AS21928), Verizon Wireless (AS22394).
