- The state's recent growth can be largely attributed to communities of color.

- People of color who moved to Texas said they were attracted by jobs and more-affordable homes.

- 2023, more of the growth resulted from people moving in.
The population growth has largely been driven by young people and people of color. Millennials comprised 40.5% of people moving to Texas from 2021 to 2022, and Gen Zers made up about 30%. The Texas Demographic Center's analysis of the 2020 census found that 95% of the state's population growth was associated with a rise in people of color.

- Many Black Americans were returning to the South, and particularly to Texas, in what's been called the New Great Migration.
[b]Census data indicates Texas is home to the largest Black population in the US[/b], with over 4 million people, or about 13.4% of the state's total population.

Where is that link showing this (Census data indicates Texas is home to the largest Black population in the US[/b], with over 4 million people, or about 13.4% of the state's total population)? Because every search I do the list looks like this:

https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/us-states-with-the-largest-relative-african-american-populations.html

1	District of Columbia	50.7% African American
2	Mississippi	37.3% African American
3	Louisiana	32.4% African American
4	Georgia	31.4% African American
5	Maryland	30.1% African American
6	South Carolina	28.5% African American
7	Alabama	26.4% African American
8	North Carolina	21.6% African American
9	Delaware	21.0% African American
10	Virginia	19.9% African American

And texas isn't even on the list.[/quote]

Um those are percents.  And PP said 13% so it wouldn’t be in the top ten.  Percent is not the total number.  Texas is has a huge population.  Dc has a large percent of its population who are AA.  Those are different measures.[/quote]
