The Newest State With Majority-Minority Population
12 August 2005 - 10:00am
Census estimates indicate that Texas is the fourth state where minorities account for most of the population.
Texas -- joining California, New Mexico, and Hawaii -- becomes a majority-minority population state where about 50.2 percent of Texans are now minorities, a trend driven by a surging number of Latinos moving to the state. Five other states -- Maryland, Mississippi, Georgia, New York and Arizona -- aren't far behind, with about 40 percent minorities. This emerging demographic trend has policy implications on minority education and professional achievement in those majority-minority population states as well as nationwide.

One great asset of this part of town, and other older neighborhoods across America, is something as simple as sidewalks, which make it easier to break out of your private sphere by taking a walk and talking to neighbors. That's an impossible dream in many new subdivisions.
