Thought it might be good to look at this in a separate thread. Below are the changes in demographics between 2010-2020. White, Black, and Asian will all be non-Hispanic numbers. Hispanic growth will have its own column. Ill look at all counties over 150K in total population plus Randall and Potter just because Amarillo is cut in half at those county lines. Remember, this is growth not total population.

Fort Bend being 2nd on the black list is hella surprising. Especially because I’m pretty sure blacks declined as a percentage of the population of the county.

Also Ellis County, South of Dallas is really shooting above its weight.

It's not surprising to me as (anecdotally) it seems most blacks that choose a suburb (regardless of whether they move from the city or elsewhere) choose either Pearland/Brazoria County or Ft.Bend (whether that's Katy area, Sugar Land, or Missouri City). I can't think of an area in greater Houston (or the state for that matter) that's attracting more blacks right now.

It does seem that where African Americans are moving is much more scattered in DFW. All 4 core counties of DFW have picked up very significant gains. In Houston, it seems to be a much more Southwestern Harris and Northeastern Fort Bend phenomenon.

Brazoria's number seemed low across the board but then I remembered that pretty much the only area sought out in Brazoria is Pearland and maybe Manvel. The rest of it is very country/blue collar.

I’m surprised Tarrant County gained whites at all. I’m guessing most of that was in the far northern part of the county. Same with Collin County, I’m sure the gains came from the far northern exurbs north of 380. I wish You would have included Parker, Rockwall, and Kaufman counties.

Yeah, personally the area has always seen more black. I personally moved from West Harris to NE Fort Bend around 2012-2013. I just thought the percentages, didn't show blacks having the highest growth, and it was actually much more positive towards Hispanic and Asian growth.

Very interesting chart.

I thought Travis County would have had a lot more than 78,344 Hispanics move there in the past decade.

I'm surprised Travis and Williamson County had more whites move there than all other counties in Texas.

But, the biggest shocker of all is Harris and Dallas Counties lead the state in the number of whites leaving a county

I'm bummed that the Native American contingent has dropped completely off the radar. Our population numbers were signficant enough to be included in previous demographic listings.

White flight from Houston/Harris County in last 10 years is probably due to the decline of the oil industry. Many people left this industry involuntarily. They are not attached to Houston anymore and are doing something else now. I've seen more people who left this industry rather than people who recently joined this business.

True, also the large European expat community was very much tied to Oil. So the few white migrants we did have in the city probably have dwindling numbers, especially now that Fort Bend is far more developed, than it was 10 years ago.

I do think the decline is temporary, as theirs's so much virgin land off 99, and off 290 and 249. All it takes is a couple masterplanned communities in the Cypress/Tomball/Hockley/Katy areas and we could see white growth again. The only reason it's low is because Katy/Richmond/Fulshear and Conroe area happened to largely be in Fort Bend and Montgomery, so all of that white growth was shifted out of Harris County. But Fulshear could easily be where Hockley is in relation to Cypress, and North Cypress has so much empty land, as far out as Towne Lake or Bridgeland that they could build it out today.

While not always true, a lot of new construction in the suburbs tend to at least be whiter than the County if not majority white. But this dichotomy is changing.

These above areas getting new communities would easily reverse the trend of Harris County decline, if it's anything like the Fort Bend/Montgomery developments going on.
