Headline:  U.S. Census: Texas Hispanic population growing at faster rate than white population

-------

Excerpt:

New data from the U.S. Census Bureau shows for every one white resident added to the Lone Star State, Texas gains nearly nine Hispanic residents.....

"This aging is driven in large part by Baby Boomers crossing over the 65-year-old mark. Now half of the U.S. population is over the age of 38.2," said Luke Rogers, the Chief of the Population Estimates Branch at the Census Bureau.

While the Hispanic population is growing, it isn't the fastest growing population in the state.

"The Asian population, even though it's a much smaller population, is the fastest growing population in Texas, as well as in Travis County. In Travis County, they grew at about 50%," Dr. Valencia said.

As for the future of Texas, the Texas Demographic Center estimates Hispanic residents will be the majority by 2022, noting the median age of Hispanics in Texas is 28 years old, compared to the median age of whites, which is 42 years old.
