Sunrise today lands at 06:55 and sunset at 07:59 local time, giving 13h 03m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (30.10, -96.08) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Hempstead.
Around 5,770 people live in Hempstead, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
