Abstract: One of the possible revisions to the 2020 Census is a single question about racial and ethnic origins that includes a “Hispanic/Latinx” category in the same question as the “racial” groups. If implemented, this would, for the first time, make it possible for respondents to unambiguously self-identify as multiracial and part-Latinx (for example, as Latino/a and White, or Latino/a and Black). Using the 2015 Texas Diversity Survey, which included a similar question format, I investigate the demographic characteristics of individuals who identify as multiracial White/Latinx, Black/Latinx, or other part-Latinx identities, comparing their characteristics to individuals who identify as only Latinx. I use these demographic characteristics, along with comparisons to the 2011-2015 American Community Survey data for Texas, to project the likely result of such a revision in the 2020 Census, projecting its impact on our understanding of the demographics of Latino/as in the United States.
