As far as black population for both cities, it's already known that DFW is more popular for Black families than Houston. I can believe your research. DFW's black population has grown faster than Houston's the last three full decades. This was only a matter of time.
That extends across races Id bet. I havent looked at the data yet, but DFW seems to be more popular for families across most races.
Interesting note: Merced and Stanislaus Counties were added to the San Francisco/San Jose/Oakland CSA. I saw that the CSA Hispanic population jumped to within 30k of Houston's and that wasnt happening without more additions.
The Bay Area might now be the most sprawly CSA after LA/Riverside. Its 120 miles from Merced to Oakland or San Jose!

Boston CSA is second most sprawly. Second in land area only to LA.
"In contrast to its reputation for compactness, the Boston CSA is massive in its geography, covering more than 9,700 square miles (25,000 square kilometers). It is larger than Slovenia or Israel."
If all of Boston's urbanization were a single urban area, it would be the third most expansive in the world (Figure 1), following the combined urban area of New York-Bridgeport-New Haven (4,500 square miles or 11,600 square kilometers) and Tokyo-Yokohama (3,300 square miles or 8,500 square kilometers)."

The 2019 numbers are out! Its time to look at the 2019 demographics. We can reference the 2018 thread to determine the changes each metro area made year on year. In the 2018 thread, I talked a lot growth trends and I will do that again here. However, the initial posts I make are going to be on community size. I will go into trends later in the thread.
Hartford/East Hartford/Middletown MSA:
White - 65.7% - 791,250
Hispanic - 15.5% - 186,787
Black - 10.5% - 126,858
Asian - 5.3 - 64,143
Birmingham, AL MSA:
White - 61.6% - 671,997
Black - 30.6% - 333,866
Hispanic - 4.5% - 49,544
Asian - 1.5% - 15,954
Buffalo/Cheektowaga MSA:
White - 76.7% - 865,687
Black - 11.9% - 134,068
Hispanic - 5.3% - 59,939
Asian - 3.3% - 37,084
More to come!
What's your data source? I want to see these numbers for the remaining 3 million plus metros. Or feel free to just post them
thats just nuts. The additional 2 counties added how much land area???
1,979 for Merced County and 1,515 for Stanislaus County. Added almost 800k to the Bay Area CSA in population. Both counties are heavily populated by Mexicans (not Hispanics overall but specifically Mexicans). The Bay Area CSA went from having a Hispanic population that was 68% Mexican to being 79% Mexican (referring to the number of Hispanics in the Bay Area that are Mexican vs. other types of Hispanic).
Selfishly Im not unhappy that Houston leap frogged over the Bay Area for the most diverse Hispanic CSA west of the Mississippi. They were neck and neck before.
