Reading the rank

Ranks #21 for Black plant priority — San Marcos gained 568 Black residents over five years. Lens C uses no anchor distance for this bucket because the legacy footprint of the 11 Black UMCs (concentrated in Freedman's-era settlements) doesn't track where the Black population is growing today.
