About 36% of Dallas' over 1,200,000 population is Hispanic, but I haven't a clue in what area they live.

Are you wanting to know so that you can concentrate on those areas to look into or to avoid? Are you wanting to find the active hispanic - very diverse neighborhoods that take care of things or are you looking to avoid the pile as many people into a tiny house type of areas (and those attract people of ALL different ethnic orgins not just hispanics)?

If you are looking for the rundown areas to avoid:
Anything around the Bachman Lake area near the Webbs Chapel Extension.
Fair Park area

Gosh, there are many to avoid if you want to stay away from the bad areas. If you want just diversity w/ people active in the community or just the working class that works to put a roof over their heads, plenty of areas for that w/ good schools to boot.
Carrollton
Farmers Branch (yes I know all the flap going on over there, I grew up there but it is just fine for those that are wanting a nice community)
The southern parts of Richardson
Central Garland
East Plano close to downtown Plano
Irving

Also check the North Central Texas Council of Governments web site, they offer maps of population percentages, income, education etc.

The Dallas area is pretty diverse. So even if you are looking for a nice neighborhood w/ good schools you are pretty much going to have neighbors from everywhere around you. Some areas tend to attract larger numbers of some ethnic groups because they are located closest to their place of worship or the ethnic stores that carry the products they want. To give you an idea you can always look at the demographics of the local schools in the area you are interested it (publicschoolsreport.com). They break down all of the ethic groups so you can see if one area is higher than another. I'd first start with how far are you wanting to commute to work and go from there.

Wouldn't it also be wise to avoid anything within a few blocks of LBJ ? It seems the Forest/Abrams/Skillman/Audelia/Jupiter interchanges have some questionable apartments.

Also, is the Park Lane/NW Hwy area still dumpy ?

I would have to disagree with this statement. Dallas has a very large Hispanic/Mexican population. In fact it is predicted that they will be the majority by 2018. For the most part neighborhoods are decided by economic status more than race. Lower income Hispanics/Mexican tend to concentrate in Pleasant Grove, Central Oak Cliff and the Bachman lake-Webbs Chapel area. Once you get to homes priced in the low 100's you will find the population to be pretty diverse. As home prices rise above 200k a neighorhood will start to loose some diversity.
