The growth in the American population over the last decade was driven entirely by minority communities, according to new data released Thursday by the U.S. Census Bureau, as the number of white Americans declined for the first time since the nation's founding.
Non-Hispanic whites make up just under 58 percent of the American population, the first time since the Census was first conducted that they have fallen under the 60 percent mark. By contrast, the 2000 Census showed non-Hispanic whites made up just over 69 percent of the population, and 63.7 percent in 2010.
Hispanic or Latino Americans have grown steadily to 62.1 million, or 18.7 percent of the population, up from 12.6 percent in 2000 and 16.4 percent in the 2010 count. Asian Americans grew faster than any other minority group in the last decade, to 24 million, up about 20 percent since 2010.
Counties with populations under 50,000 all lost population on average, according to the Census data. Counties with populations over 100,000 gained 9.1 percent, as more Americans flocked to metropolitan areas and their nearby suburbs.
Overall, 86.3 percent of Americans live in a metropolitan area, a city and its surroundings with populations greater than 50,000, up 2 percentage points since the 2000 survey. The share of Americans who live in rural areas that are not part of metropolitan areas dropped by 2.8 percentage points.

Yep, ones that think Mexcians will vote GOP and those that think most of Texas is rural.
Absolutely insane.
And in case you needed a reminder. This is all blue-growth btw. From Google:
Although Texas has a large rural population, the majority of Texans live in urban areas (or metropolitan statistical areas). In 2010, 84.7 percent of the Texas population lived in urban areas, and 75.4 percent lived in urban areas with 50,000 or more people.
You have a major thing for mexicans/hispanics even though they always have and always will vote against GOP. By a pretty wide margin.
I think you have a major bias and issue.
Headquarters of fake news.
Although Texas has a large rural population, the majority of Texans live in urban areas
And President Trump still WON Texas with INCREASED majority. And Republicans won the governorship elections, both US Senate seats, big majority I state congress etc etc and Ddms lost the statewide elections.
Better than google?
I couldn't give two hoots. You introduced Mexicans into this thread.
even though they always have and always will vote against GOP. By a pretty wide margin.
Mexican illegals can't vote. Mexican Americans make up a lower and lower share of the Latino vote. Most Cuban Americans for example, voted for the right party : The Republican Party.
You are heading into the Pitts.

You clearly seem to have to have the last word. So go for it.
You can bring it and get it thrown right back at ya, with compound interest.
What area was that? In far south Texas or east Texas on the state line with Louisiana? And this is not 2016-people are a lot angrier around this state than they were then-like I said, I’m a card-carrying Native Tejana and Hispanic-I speak, read and write Spanish as a 2nd language so an article in a Spanish language publication or a commercial on Telemundo is clearly understood.
I watch a couple of narco-vs-federales novelas on Telemundo-during the 2020 election, I counted 2x as many Trump ads on Telemundo-Ted Cruz did some of them...
The unique Tejano come-and-take-it culture is the one I was raised in-if you aren’t a native Texan, Hispanic or not, then with all due respect, you don’t have any idea who we are, how we think, or how far we have gone-and will again, gladly-to protect our liberty and our state-we’ve never been wusses, wringing our hands and asking some govt to solve our problems...
Election map 2020: Pretty clean pattern if you ask me.
Look at a Texas map-Blue islands in a red sea-even two of the formerly blue border areas in S Texas are red now-McAllen has a Hispanic non-RINO republican mayor now as well-we aren’t going blue out here...
Metro AREAS are counted in census-but the outer limits-brbbs and bedroom jungles-are mostly republican votes in most parts of this state. less than 40 years ago, Texas was still in democrat control-had been since before the civil war-not going back there, I bet...
All of our new arrivals from metro areas who stay for more than a year or two are conservative/republican-life is too remote for liberals-they like their stores within a mile instead of 20, etc-out of staters who transplant mostly vote republican, too-we do tend to shun liberals-makes them feel unwanted...
In 2019 76.3% of the population was “White alone.” 18.5% were Hispanic or Latino and 60.1% were “White alone, not Hispanic or Latino.”

Like I said, two blue border areas went red-it is on the map-also please stop saying “Mexican areas”-most of these mojados are not Mexican-they are from Honduras, Nicaragua, Guatemala and even Brazil and some are middle east terrorists-they are smuggled here by los carteles, along with the drugs. I have no idea why you have such contemp for Hispanics-even the Native Texan conservative ones like me-I don’t even know you, or where you are from-but when you talk that way about Texas Hispanics-or refer to us as “Mexicans”, it tells me you don’t live here-or if you do you probably shouldn’t...
BELOW 60% actually. 57.8%
“I have no idea why you have such contemp for Hispanic”
They vote democrat.
The census bureau records Hispanic/Latino in a separate category from race and states that Hispanic/Latino can be of any race.
