Home-purchase mortgages by year
| Year | Hispanic buyers | All buyers | Hispanic share |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 35 | 38 | 92.1% |
| 2024 | 54 | 59 | 91.5% |
| 2025 | 36 | 42 | 85.7% |
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.
