According to the just-released numbers by the U.S. Census 2007 American Community Survey 1-Year Estimates, the foreign-born population in the DFW Metro area exceeded 1 million:
Seems like a big figure for North Texas, especially when compare to a place like San Antonio, which I had assumed would have had a larger foreign-born population.
However, that doesn’t seem such a big figure when you compare it to the total in the 10-county DFW Metro area. Chart after the jump.

This is a follow up to “Hey, where the white kids at?” Small Time Crooks dvdrip
buy The Statement
Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow video
So, if only 5% of Dallas ISD is made up of white children when the city is 30% white, where did all those other white children go?
My first thought was: Kids’ White Flight. Wikipedia defines White Flight thusly:
White flight
download Scooby Doo Meets Batman movie
Hard-Boiled trailer is a term for the demographic
A Charlie Brown Christmas download
trend in which working My Bosss Daughter video and middle-class white people move away from suburbs
or urban neighborhoods that are becoming racially desegregated to white suburbs and exurbs.
However, for this to be the case, those missing white students should show up SOMEWHERE in the suburbs or exurbs. I proceeded to see if this was the case by checking the numbers of the two nearest candidates for White Flight: Richardson ISD and Plano ISD. If it was true that white students were being sent to other school districts, then the numbers should show a number of white students at either Plano ISD or Richardson ISD that is higher than their populations would predict. I acquired figures from the Texas Education Agency and the US Census, and my findings (with charts, of course) are after the jump.
