Woodside includes lots for 483 single-family homes. Our population, as of the last census, was approximately 1,100 persons*, and our census area (tract 4133.00, all of block group 5 plus a few homes from 3 and 4) is classified as "high income". As a group, Woodside residents are on the "mature" side – 26.0% of us are older than 65. We are also a well-educated group – 68.3% of adult residents have a Bachelor's degree; 36.1% have a masters or doctorate degree, as well. Approximately 17.4% of the adults in Woodside have a first language other than English.

Our subdivision is moderately old, relative to most residential neighborhoods in the Houston area. The median year of construction for our homes is 1956 – 84.6% of them were built before 1959, and many were built in the 1953-54 timeframe. The median of Woodside home values (half higher, half lower) was reported at $178,200 in the 2000 census. It considerably higher nowadays, of course. A number of our neighborhood's homes have already been torn down and replaced. Woodside homes are subject to deed restrictions which limit building styles, restrain commercial use of properties and require reasonable maintenance and repairs. Compliance with those deed restrictions is monitored by the civic club, assisted in some cases, by the City of Houston legal department's Deed Restriction Enforcement Team.

The Woodside Civic Club's activities are financed by annual collection of voluntary dues from homeowners. The biggest expense (90% or more of the total budget) is payment for security patrols by a private company. The expense of that patrol is shared with adjoining neighborhoods (Woodshire, Linkwood and Westridge). Maintenance of the landscaped medians on Stella Link is also paid by the Civic Club. That expense is shared with Woodshire Civic Club. In the active mosquito season, the Civic Club pays to have regular spraying done by a private company. A significant expenditure was made in 2008 to upgrade the streetlights in the neighborhood in conjunction with the City-financed street reconstruction project. A similar expenditure is planned when the streets in the north half of Woodside are rebuilt.

The Woodside Civic Club holds its general meetings in even-numbered months, normally on the first Wednesday of the month. Time and place are announced in our newsletter, which is both delivered door-to-door and posted on the website. The meetings are short and often entertaining. The directors and officers of Woodside Civic Club are unpaid volunteers. The financial statements and tax returns of the group are public records – you may ask to see them at any general meeting.
