Ranks #1 for Hispanic plant priority — Travis County (rural) gained 7,800 Hispanic residents over five years and sits 14.2 mi from the nearest Hispanic anchor (Emmanuel UMC (Austin)), past the immediate halo of any existing Hispanic-led congregation. Ranks #6 for Hispanic ministry expansion — same Hispanic-growth signal as the plant bucket, but 14.2 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. Ranks #3 for Black plant priority — Travis County (rural) gained 1,460 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.
