HOUSTON White non-Hispanics are no longer the majority in Texas --
for the first time since the 1800's.
Today's Census Bureau survey says whites stopped being the majority
in Texas as of last year.
Also, the numbers show that Texas joined only Illinois and North
Carolina in having a poverty rate that measurably increased -- while
income decreased -- in 2002-03.
Texas state demographer Steve Murdock says the two trends are
related as economic woes have slowed white migration from other
states.
Luis Figueroa with the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education
Fund says the future of Latinos is the future of Texas, as the
population numbers show.
Also:
-- Most of the Texas population expansion since 2000 has come from
births and international immigration -- both sources of
predominantly Hispanic growth.
-- The black population remained basically flat, at around ten-point-
eight percent.
-- Asian-Americans now account for about three percent of the Texas
population.
