The Conference's County Ethnic Breakdown

The population in Texas has changed miraculously over the years. The population in 1850 was almost eighty percent white, about twenty five percent African Americans, and Latinos percentage was a

What do trends indicate about the future of Black Rural Churches? (Chapter 5) Trends indicate this about the future of Black Rural Churches. It has gradually but noticeable reverse migration among black people to the South and the sunshine states of the Southwest. The primary reasons are the search for jobs and the continued industrialization of the South. Extended family ties provide another motivation to move. Most black people in the North have relatives in southern states, and many of them still consider the south as home. However, the reverse migration will not match the previous out-migrations, it will most likely increase the black population base of the South and provide a potential constituency for some rural churches. Finally, the growing class split in the black community are increasing (Lincoln, C. Eric, and Lawrence H. Mamiya

In order to discern the capacity to give, it is important to be familiar with the demographic data related to the topic of stewardship and the overall capacity of Christians spanning from worldwide to Millennials in Johnson County, Kansas attending LBC. For this section, the demographic content starts with worldwide and US statistics. Then shift from Kansas City (metro-wide), to county (Johnson County, Kansas), then community context for Lenexa Baptist Church. The demographics then will focus more on Millennials and then Millennials at Lenexa Baptist

Preparing for the event was very nerve-racking and I felt extremely anxious and apprehensive. The church attendance was all African Americans and mostly low-income with a mix of young and old. The church itself is very old, established in 1787, and sits in one of Carbondale’s poorer neighborhoods. I have been to this church before though, for work purposes to do a homeless count at the soup kitchen, so I was a little familiar with the church in general. Based on the soup kitchen experience the attendance of people in the church was pretty much as expected.

The Texas population consists of people with a variety of different cultural and racial background. The Texas population seems to be very young with an approximate 27.3 percent of the population being under the age of 18, and about 11.5 percent being over the age of 65 (U.S. Census Bureau, “Texas.”). Factors that increase the Texas population include higher birthrates, lower death rates, as well as immigration from other countries and states. The population is changing from a primarily white population as recorded during the 1990s to a projected primarily Latino population by 2050. However, Latinos were not a considered a separate ethnic group until the 1990s but were counted to the white population which consisted of European whites and the Latinos. The African- American population decreased from over 20 percent during the 1850s to below 20 percent population as of 2015. Asian- Americans are considered the smallest population in Texas at 4.5 percent (The Asian Population,” 2010 Census Briefs). Due to the changing economy and

Texas’s 12th Congressional district is a relatively large district, located deep in the heart of Texas. From downtown Fort Worth extending about as far as 43 miles out west, and at its largest it is about 53 miles north to south. The 12th district can be considered both rural and urban because the eastern part of the district is in a very urban area, Fort Worth, and the western part is more rural with a couple of smaller cities such as Hudson Oaks or Willow Park. The district encompasses 280,567 households as of 2015 and has the population of 770,350. About 608,600 of the population is white, 169,674 identify as Hispanic or Latino, and about 66,000 of them are African American. About 89% of the population of District 12 is native to the United

The estimated total population in the “City of Murphy, Texas as of July1, 2016 was 20,482” (Bureau, U.C., 2017), compared to the “total population of Texas, which was 27,862,596 in the year 2016” (Bureau, U.C., 2017.) and the “United States population as of today, October 3, 2017 of 326,102, 454” (Bureau, U.C., 2017). There was data for

African American, Hispanic, and Asian Americans. The white population have limited relevance to the relevance to the cultural and historical experiences of many African American and Hispanic Texans. For African American is Martin Luther King Jr’s birthday as state holiday in 1991. And for Hispanics is the Cinco de Mayo.

When analyzing data, one can’t ignore the growth of the Hispanic population. The majority of Hispanics in Texas are of Mexican decent, however, there are many Hispanics from all over Latin America living in the state. Texas’

The U.S 2014 census estimates also shows that Texas population has been dominating by Whites (80.0%) over Black or African American (12.5%); American Indian and Alaska Native (1.0%); Asian (4.5%); Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander (0.1%); other (13.3%); and Hispanic or Latino (38.6%). The percentage of foreign born persons living in Texas in 2014 now hovered around 16.8 percent (4.5 million), of which 70 percent from Latin America and 20 percent from Asia. One of the partial reasons why Texas dominating racial discrimination is because of the size of its population. It also shows that Texas growing diverse population has constitute changes in the state economy and ongoing evolution of its political culture.

Arlington ISD has a somewhat diverse student body and interestingly matches the statewide statistics. At precisely 45.1%, Hispanics make up for majority of the district’s demographics. Comparably, 52.2% of Texas’s public school population consists of Hispanic students. Caucasian students make up 21% of the district and 28.5% of the state. Asian students comes in at third place making up for 16.2% of the district and 4% of the state. The least populous demographic for both the district and state comes out to be Pacific Islanders and students with two or more races.

Austin’s melting pot of cultures give a warm country feel with that city charisma. Austin is the 11th largest city in the United States and the 2nd largest capitol (“Austin Population 2015”). The 2014 population of 865,504 was a 2.7% growth from the previous year (“City of Austin Population History”). The Austin-Round Rock Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) is composed of five counties (Bastrop County, Caldwell County, Hays County, Travis County, and Williamson County) with an estimated population of 1.9 million people in the combined counties in 2014 (“Austin Population 2015”). The City of Austin is 47.1% white, 36.5% Hispanic, 7.0% African American, 6.8% Asian, and 2.6% other ("Age Structure by Race and Ethnicity, City of Austin, 2014 Estimates."). What is interesting, however, is that according to a 2014 University of Texas at Austin study, although Austin has been consistently ranked one of the fastest growing cities in the United States, the city is losing its black community. Austin has experienced a decline in African American Americans at -5.4% and a total population growth of 20.4% (Tang and Chunhui,

Anglos, Latinos, and African American were the three main ethnic groups of Texas for a large amount of time. Anglos defined the political culture in Texas for most of the twentieth century. “By the end of the Reconstruction, however, it had reasserted itself, establishing the three patterns that defined Texas politics for the next hundred years: the one-party Democratic state, provincialism, and business dominance” (22). The Anglos were thought of highly and were expected to be taken serious. Anglos took shape as the ones on top and dominated anyone who got in their way. The Latino ethnic group was heavily covered up in the nineteenth century causing it to be very hard for

For over a century the University of Texas (UT) has served as a leading institution educating America’s leaders, however; the lingering effects of prior discrimination haunt the campus. Due to perceptions that UT’s environment is not supportive of underrepresented minority students, the University lacks diversity within its student body. Regardless, UT continues to receive an overwhelmingly selective applicant pool. However, without student diversity UT deems it difficult to perform its mission of providing superior educational opportunities while aiding the advancement of our society.

96.6% of the student population at John Kelley is identified as Hispanic, making up the majority of the student body. This is not untypical in Thermal as compared to other schools in the city the ethnic distribution is similar. There are roughly an equal number of males and females.
