Top 10 Texas Metro Areas for Black-Owned Businesses
How are Black Businesses faring in Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Houston and other Metro Areas in Texas? The Metro Areas around Dallas and Houston lead the way in terms of Black Business ownership as well as sales volume.
How do the businesses in these two areas compare to those in the other 22 Metropolitan Statistical Areas in Texas? Even more so, how do the statistics for Black Businesses compare to those for businesses owned by other Racial/Ethnic groups in each of the 24 Metro Areas in Texas?
The business data presented here is from the U.S. Census Bureau 2012 Survey of Business Owners (SBO). The 2012 SBO provides the most comprehensive business data available now.
2017 business data is scheduled to be released by the U.S. Census Bureau in December 2019 in the form of the Annual Business Survey (ABS).
Consequently, the tables presented here are sourced from the most recent comprehensive survey of both businesses with paid employees and for those businesses that do not have paid employees.

Businesses With Paid Employees vs Those Without Paid Employees by Race/Ethnicity
These tables look at how businesses are proportioned between those with paid employees vs those without paid employees, within racial/ethnic ownership groups.
The significant data point is the low percentage, within the universe of Black-Owned businesses, of those that have paid employees vs those who do not. Only 4.2% of Black-Owned businesses in Texas have paid employees. Whereas Asian-Owned and White-Owned businesses are at 25.7% and 20.6% respectively for the same metric. This is extremely significant when considering the large sales volume gap between businesses that have paid employees vs businesses with no paid employees.
The first table presents data about the number of businesses, while the second shows information about annual sales.
