In which metro do non-hispanic whites and hispanics intermingle more?
Per the numbers, it's obvious that greater Houston is significantly more Hispanic than the metroplex- though the two are closer at the city level.
In which metro would you be more likely to see Hispanics intermingling with non-Hispanic whites? (in this case, let's define 'intermingling' as running in the same social circles, living in the same neighborhoods and- if applicable- attending the same places of worship)
Hispanics are currently a plurality of the Houston metro but because their more middle class lower middle class population, they are still a minority influence wise in the metro compared to White Americans.
If they were mostly middle class, wouldn't that make them as influential as whites? Do you mean poor/working class?
As a city, you are correct. The city of Dallas is 18% foreign born Mexicans and the city of Houston is between 11 and 12%. Houston just has a lot more foreign born other Hispanics.
As a Metro Area, you are also correct. DFW (and Chicago) both have more Mexican immigrants despite having fewer total Mexicans than Houston.
That's what I thought. Clearly Texas receives the most Mexican immigration more than any other state(except maybe CA), but we also tend to forget that there's a large Tejano population that has been in these cities for decades. And South Texas cities in particular have always had this population beneath the surface among the Mexican immigrant population. Houston and other gulf cities in Texas(such as Corpus) always felt like they had more Tejanos than Dallas and other North Texas cities. Whereas Dallas(like other non boarder/inland cities) seemed like Mexican population exploded almost solely due to Immigration.

I always said it reflected in the food too. The authentic Mexican food in Dallas is every bit as good as it is in Houston. However, the Tex-Mex in Dallas is not so great and its amazing in Houston.

Agreed. Makes sense. The further South you go in Texas, the better TexMex gets. I'm sure anywhere below I-10 the TexMex is some of the best out there.

any answers as to in which metro you'll see more intermingling between Hispanics and non-Hispanic whites?
Houston. Agreed. Seems like the Tejano population is stronger in Houston than in Dallas. You'll see more intermingling and even intermarriage between Tejanos and Non Hispanic Whites.
