Reading the rank

Ranks #2 for Hispanic plant priority — Travis County (rural) gained 6,590 Hispanic residents over five years and sits 13.6 mi from the nearest Hispanic anchor (Bethany UMC (Austin)), past the immediate halo of any existing Hispanic-led congregation. Ranks #7 for Hispanic ministry expansion — same Hispanic-growth signal as the plant bucket, but 13.6 mi from Bethany 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.
