Texas Moves Closer to "Majority-Minority" Status, Census Bureau Estimates Show
http://www.census.gov/Press-Release/www/releases/archives/population/002897.html
Texas edged closer to joining majority-minorityHawaii, California, New Mexico and the District of Columbia, according to new state and county population estimates by age, sex, race and Hispanic origin, the U.S. Census Bureau said today.
Estimates for July 1, 2003, showed Texas had a 49.5 percent minority population, i.e., made up of all people except single-race, non-Hispanic whites. Hawaiis minority population is 77 percent; New Mexicos, 56 percent; and Californias, 55 percent. The District of Columbia is 72 percent minority.
The race data for the states and 3,141 counties cover the population who reported one race alone and people who reported two or more races. The estimates are provided by single year of age and selected age groups for each state and by five-year age groups for counties.
The following race data are for people reporting the specified race, whether or not they reported any other races.

The Census Bureau develops state and county population estimates by characteristics using administrative records on births, deaths and migration to estimate population change from the most recent census.
