More Detailed 2010 Austin Census Data from Statesman (Houston: ranked, area)

[ImOnFiya]

From the Statesman:

Austin area population increases by nearly half million

Among the new tidbits:

In Austin, Hispanics and Asians combined to account for 71 percent of the city's population increase, according to new U.S. census figures released Thursday, the first complete count update of the state since 2000. Austin grew by 20.4 percent over the past decade to 790,390 to remain the state's fourth-largest city.

Austin's Asian population of 49,864 ranked second among the state's largest 20 cities, behind only Houston. Its Latino population of 277,707 ranked fifth.

The city's non-Hispanic white population also grew — by 28.1 percent. Non-Hispanic whites still make up the largest share of the city population, at 48.7 percent.

As expected, only population decline within the city was with African-Americans:

Though the black population in Austin fell, both in absolute numbers and percentage, the African American population in the five-county region grew by about 24,000 to 120,510. The African American share of the total population, however, dropped to 7.7 percent (60,760, down from 64,259).

What do think these results? Thoughts ?

I believe they undercounted the census for Austin, back in Oct the ABJ released over 812,000 in the city.

What makes you believe the business journal's number is more accurate?
