Home-purchase mortgages by year
| Year | Hispanic buyers | All buyers | Hispanic share |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 463 | 4,046 | 11.4% |
| 2024 | 316 | 2,725 | 11.6% |
| 2025 | 407 | 2,948 | 13.8% |
These figures count mortgages only. They leave out cash purchases and most owner-financed or contract-for-deed sales. About 14% of Texas loans have no ethnicity recorded, so the true Hispanic share is likely higher.
