Column Published in syndication July 05, 2023Texas reached a notable milestone according to the latest release of US Census Bureau population data - the Lone Star State's Hispanic racial/ethnic group is now the largest. According to the July 2022 estimates, Hispanics comprise 40.2% of the population, while the second largest group (non-Hispanic white) is 39.8%. The state is also adding almost 1,300 people a day. That's more than my hometown had when I was growing up (or at least having my first 18 birthdays).
