This is where I live and I dont really notice this change tbh...
Anythow, at 32%, Alameda, CA(Oakland) became the 2nd county on the US Mainland after neighboring Santa Clara(San Jose), CA to have an Asian plurality. Honolulu, HI is the only other county to have an Asian plurality.
Na, it was more like 20% of Hispanics this go-round. That numbers dropped like a rock. The vast majority of Hispanics are identifying as multiracial in 2020. They covered this in the live release in detail.
Even including Latinos the nation is only 61.6% white. That means white including Latino is probably done as a majority by 2045, 2050 at the latest. White non-Latino? It's looking more like 2035.
Where are you getting these numbers?
Directly taken from the census:
White, non Hispanic: 60%
White, including Hispanics: 76%
No i meant making the buildings flood proof. Raising them a foot or two
Either way the incentive to build to the south does not yet outweigh the extra cost of building in the flood plain.

Not quite. The western burbs in Houston are actually the higher spots in the area.
If you look at elevation maps you could probably draw a perfect line going from Katy to Cypress to the Woodlands and then to Conroe that are all higher than the south east part of the metro. Downtown to the ship channel are the lower parts.
The problem isn't that the Westside is in a flood plain. The problem is that the west side was previously prairie
The deep roots of prairie grasses help in absorbing water into the ground. When it rains instead of the prairie acting like a sponge the water just flows along the surface. When the water gets to bottle necks it floods neighborhoods.

Anyone kind of surprised how poorly a lot of midwestern cities did after the urban renaissance narrative of the decade?
Cleveland, Detroit, Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, Even Southern cities like Dallas well underperformed their metro areas.
Actually if you look quite a few core cities regardless of location they under performed their metros, even the ones with healthier growth. It seems more pronounced in the Midwestern cities because they are still declining/stagnant. I think the story of the census is how some long time stagnant metros actually grew. More than anything what is shows is that suburbs are clearly still more desirable than the impression the narrative gives.
There also may be a political component to the poorer performance of the core cities. If you recall, census canvassing was concluded several weeks earlier than planned due to Covid. This canvassing is very important to get accurate counts in those inner city neighborhoods with very low response rates. Given the lower than expected performance in so many cities I do think this is a factor.

The poorest most immigrant heavy places in the country like Lynn, Chelsea and Central Falls has blockbuster growth so I don’t know if I buy the undercount story. And the fastest growing areas of Buffalo was Broadway-Filmore, not the urban-hip Allentown.
But I think the main difference between like Tampa or Dallas and Cleveland, Pittsburgh or Milwaukee is the latter market themselves as cheap, urban alternatives to Boston, DC or Chicago. While Tampa doesn’t even pretend to be selling some sort of chic urban experience.
Anybody know if any interactive maps of Census Tract level population change has been released yet?
I put together my own map for my city here https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...81e78fe7_b.jpg and it seems Moderator cut: link removed, competitor site has compiled Census Tract level changes for metros over 500k at the bottom of the page (like this example for DFW Moderator cut: link removed, competitor site , but can't find anything for the entire country.
I know NYT came out with an interactive map of change at the Tract level soon after the 2010 Census release so guess it is only a matter of time. The official interactive 2020 Census map only shows County level percent change and Census Tract density, but not change unfortunately. In ogther news, great to see that my downtown neighborhood added almost 500 people and grew by 126%
