To rank the whitest places in Texas, we used Saturday Night Science to look at Census demographic data. We had to look at the number of white people living in each city in Texas on a per capita basis. In other words, the percentage of white people living in each city in Texas. We looked at table B03002: Hispanic OR LATINO ORIGIN BY RACE. Here are the category names as defined by the Census: Our particular column of interest here was the number of people who identified as White alone. We limited our analysis to town with a population greater than 5,000 people. That left us with 324 cities. We then calculated the percentage of residents that are White. The percentages ranked from 92.3% to 0.0%. Finally, we ranked each city based on the percentage of White population, with a higher score being more White than a lower score.
