Dallas, Harris counties’ Hispanic growth differs. Texas

“fter showing somewhat similar growth patterns in the 1980s and 1990s, the state’s largest counties ”” Harris and Dallas ”” have diverged in markedly different directions so far this decade, according to U.S. Census Bureau figures released Thursday.

While robust Hispanic growth continues in Texas’ urban and suburban counties, nowhere has the change come as quickly as in Dallas County, where non-Hispanic whites appear to be pouring outward.

Dallas County had lost about 120,000 whites between the 2000 Census and July 2005, according to the government’s latest demographic estimates. That’s slightly more than it lost for all of the 1990s.”
