Ranking Among the Most Conservative American Cities
It is fourteenth in the list of most conservative American cities and the fourth most conservative among Texas' big cities.[1]
The ranking is surprising given the presence of a large public university and the city's ethnic diversity (the city has large areas dominated by Democrat-voting minority groups).
