In addition, Spring is home to many people who could be described as "urban sophisticates," which are people who are not only wealthy and employed in professional occupations, but highly educated to boot. Urban sophisticates have urbane tastes - whether they reside in a big or small city, a suburb, or a little town. Urban sophisticates support bookstores, quality clothing stores, enjoy luxury travel, and in big cities, they are truly the patrons of the arts, attending and supporting institutions such as opera, symphony, ballet, and theatre.

Because of many things, Spring is a great place for families with children to consider. First of all, many other families with children live here, making Spring a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families, as well as find family-oriented services and community. The town's good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic values. With regard to real estate, Spring has a high rate of owner-occupied single family homes, which tends to reflect stability in the local community. Finally, Spring's overall crime rate is lower than average for the country.

"If you live in Spring, you are going to have to drive to get to work," say area residents. At least that is what most Spring residents do (96.6%). Spring is primarily built for cars, and driving around town will bare this out. Shopping centers, parking lots, strip malls, and wide streets are what you'll find. Sidewalks? Sure. But not everywhere, and walking to most places can be downright scary.

The town of Spring is a decent size, but despite this, it doesn't have a viable public transit system that people can use to get to work.
