Answer 1

The table provides evidence that could be cited to support the following statement:

Hispanics are the single largest ethnic group in Houston.

This is evidenced by the fact that 44.5% of the population identifies as Hispanic or Latino, which is higher than any other ethnic group listed.

The other statements are not supported directly by the data in the table:

• The statement about Asian people having a lower median income than the national average is not addressed in the table.
• The statement about Houston becoming a diverse city can be inferred but is not directly supported by the given percentages.
• The statement that White people make up a majority of the population is incorrect, as they constitute only 24.1% of the population.
