Reading the rank

Ranks #18 for Hispanic plant priority — Austin gained 3,057 Hispanic residents over five years and sits 8.5 mi from the nearest Hispanic anchor (Emmanuel UMC (Austin)), past the immediate halo of any existing Hispanic-led congregation. Ranks #16 for Hispanic ministry expansion — same Hispanic-growth signal as the plant bucket, but 8.5 mi from Emmanuel UMC (Austin) means a new plant would compete with a congregation already on the ground. Expansion of the existing ministry is the higher-leverage move.
