If someone unfamiliar with Leander saw the “Leander race representation” chart, they may think, “Wow, that is the whitest town ever!” Do some more drill-down by ethnicity and you’ll see that Leander is host to a wonderful, thriving community of Latinos and Indian-Asians (such as people from Pakistan). Come on, Community Impact! You can do better with your info!
