This article - biased as it may be - says there are two McKinney’s......

East of Highway 75, according to the lawsuit, McKinney is 49 percent white; to its west, McKinney is 86 percent white. The plaintiffs alleged that the city and its housing authority were “willing to negotiate for and provide low-income housing units in east McKinney, but not west McKinney, which amounts to illegal racial steering.”

All three of the city’s public pools lie to the east of Highway 75. Craig Ranch, where the pool party took place, lies well to its west.

I suspect like all Texas cities and towns that Hispanics made up 40 percent of east McKinney and blacks at maybe 10 percent.

I’ll be back in a minute with wiki population numbers....

EXACTLY as I thought.

As of the 2010 census McKinney had a population of 131,117. The median age was 33. The racial composition of the population was 74.8% white, 10.5% black, 0.7% Native American, 4.1% Asian, 0.1% Pacific Islander, and 3.1% reporting two or more races. 18.6% of residents were Hispanic or Latino of any race.[12]
