Texas gained almost nine Hispanic residents for every additional white resident last year

The gap between Texas’ Hispanic and white populations continued to narrow last year when the state gained almost nine Hispanic residents for every additional white resident.

With Hispanics expected to become the largest population group in Texas as soon as 2022, new population estimates released Thursday by the U.S. Census Bureau showed the Hispanic population climbed to nearly 11.4 million — an annual gain of 214,736 through July 2018 and an increase of 1.9 million since 2010.


The white population, meanwhile, grew by just 24,075 last year. Texas still has a bigger white population — up to 11.9 million last year — but it has only grown by roughly 484,000 since 2010. The white population’s growth has been so sluggish this decade that it barely surpassed total growth among Asian Texans, who make up a tiny share of the total population, in the same time period.

The estimates come as lawmakers begin to sharpen their focus on the 2021 redistricting cycle, when they’ll have to redraw the state’s congressional and legislative maps to account for population growth. And they highlight the extent to which the demographics of the state continue to shift against the Republican Party.

During the last go-around, which is still being litigated in federal court, Hispanics accounted for about 65% of the state’s growth. With about two years of growth left to go, their share of Texas’ population increase since 2010 reached 54% last July.

The Hispanic community is growing in numbers across the state. But 47% of Texas Hispanics now live in the state’s five biggest counties — Harris, Bexar, Dallas, Tarrant and Travis. Home to Houston, Harris County leads that list with more than 2 million Hispanic residents. But Hispanic growth since 2010 continues to be most significant in Tarrant County.

With a growth rate of 26%, the Hispanic population in Tarrant County reached 609,236 last year — up from 482,977 in 2010.

Like it did the last time.

I think The US should peacefully split up.If it wasn't for slavery I would have wanted the confederacy to win and conservatives could have had their own country

 

The problem for Democrats is the sense of justice that resides in most people. If people feel the Democrats unfairly wrong another group of people there will be backlash against them, including the precious Hispanics they think they own.

 

The past is no guarantee of futures results. This is a fluid election with all that is happening.

 

The Republican President Lincoln was on the winning side the last time.

 

It’s called State Rights.

Edit: A Federal gun control effort will likely cause big problems.

Hispanics and blacks have been voting 70 and 90% democrat for decades.Texas is gaining more of them and fewer whites.Texas will be CA soon.
