According to the 2021 U.S. Census, approximately 6.8% or 58,000 of the more than 851,000 Fort Bend County residents live in poverty. Although that’s much lower than the state and national average, there are areas in Richmond, Rosenberg, and Kendleton, where the average household is well below the poverty line.
