As Austin’s black population falls, a question of representation rises By Jody Seaborn - American-Statesman Staff

African-Americans once represented about 15 percent of Austin’s overall population, but over the past few decades, the city’s black population has decreased steadily as African-Americans have moved outside Austin. Today, the African-American share of Austin’s population is 7 percent, according to city estimates. Eric Tang, a professor of African and African Dias-pora Studies at the University of Texas, produced an a t t e n t i o n -g r a b b i n g report two years ago which found that Austin, despite grow-ing 20.4 per-cent between the 2000 and 2010 censuses, was the coun-try’s only large, fast-growing city to record a de-cline in its black population: 5.4 percent, from 64,259 in 2000 to 60,760 in 2010. With the help of UT doctoral student Bisola Falola, Tang recently produced a new report asking African-Americans who have moved to the suburbs why they left Austin. I won’t dwell on Tang and Falola’s results, which the American-Statesman’s Dan Zehr covered last week, other than to note that a majority of African-Americans — 56 percent — said they left Austin because they no longer could afford to live in the city. Many said they would move back if they could. The significance of this “outmigration?” The report briefly goes over several noteworthy effects on those who have left Austin. Public amenities and services often are harder to access in the suburbs than they are in the city. People feel a loss of community and a sense of social disconnection as they move from neighborhoods where their families have lived for generations. Economic segregation worsens, further weakening economic mobility. These effects frequently are discussed and debated in stories about Austin’s declining African-American population. But there is one effect that often is overlooked. It is worth revisiting, for it will be much discussed in about five years, when it becomes clear how the African-American migration from Austin to the suburbs potentially affects the makeup of the Austin City Council. One of the main reasons the City Council has 10 members is be-cause 10 was the minimum number needed when the district-based council was created in 2012 to draw a district in which black voters would have an opportunity to elect an African-American council member. Yet, even with 10 districts, creating an African-American opportunity district was barely possible given the movement of African-Americans out of Austin. The best the independent commission that drew the new districts could do was District 1 in East and Northeast Austin. District 1 is — or rather was at the time of the 2010 census — 28.2 percent African-American. If drawing an African-American opportunity district was barely possible a couple of years ago, it might be impossible when new district boundaries are drawn after the 2020 census. Sure, an African-American can be elected in any district and does not have run in District 1. And after the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated part of the Voting Rights Act in 2013, the need to create a black opportunity district may no longer be felt. But if the city wants to maintain council diversity and continue to give its remaining African-Americans a chance to elect one of their own, it will face some tough choices. Either voters will have to be asked to increase the number of council districts to make it possible to draw an African-American opportunity district, or they will have to be asked to add a couple of at-large seats to the council. Either way, it’s conceivable that a version of the so-called gentlemen’s agreement that designated one seat on the old at-large council for an African-American member will have to be revived for the district-based council. Or, it’s conceivable Austin’s African-American population will have shrunk so much the city will have to consider a different question: At what low percentage point does a group’s numbers no longer justify gerry-mandering a district to give them an opportunity to elect their own council representative? And deciding the answer to this question will have to occur against a different group’s rapid growth: Asian-Americans were 6.8 percent of the city’s population in 2014, according to city estimates. This was just below African-Americans’ 7 percent. Given current trends, Austin’s Asian-American population will be greater than its black population after the 2020 census. Asian-Americans are widely dispersed throughout the city, but they made up 13.3 percent of District 6, in Northwest Austin, in 2010. When new districts are drawn after 2020, shouldn’t the next opportunity first be theirs?

The new Cat S60 smart phone is similar in some ways to the equip-ment manufacturer’s heavy ma-chinery: It is water-resistant and has a shock-resistant steel frame. But this phone, which debuted last month at the Mobile World Con-gress in Barcelona, boasts a fac-tory equipped thermal imaging camera, something novel to both heavy equipment and mobile de-vices. “We are the first cell phone to incorporate a regular digi-tal camera and an infra-red camera,” says Phil Raso, pro-gram man-ager, brand licensing, at Peoria, Ill.-based Cater-pillar. “There’s a lot of Cat DNA in the phone. The r u g g e d n e s s and tough-ness,” he says. But Cat’s involve-ment doesn’t extend beyond branding and marketing, he adds. Bullitt Group Ltd., New York City, which manufactures the phone, also licenses the Cat brand. The thermal imaging camera is pow-ered by FLIR Systems’ Lepton microcamera module and the FLIR @Work app that comes pre-installed on the device. The sen-sor functions up to 100 ft away, through both smoke and dark-ness, says

Rasco. Further, it can sense heat differentials as low as 2°F. The infrared sensor has a raw resolution of 80 x 60 pixels but, used in conjunction with the phone’s 13-megapixel digital cam-era, it can create 640 x 480 pixel thermal images. Raso says some uses for the tool include locat-ing a hot water leak or lack of insulation through a wall. “You can hold it up to a window to see where cold air is coming in,” he says. “The thermal imag-

ing camera can also tell you the pro-pane level on a propane tank.” The S60 shoots digital and thermal video underwa te r , down to 15 ft. Users must close the port covers on the phone to en-sure water-proofing; if the flaps aren’t closed, the phone is water resistant to only 6 ft. Raso says the S60

is built tough: It’s designed to with-stand a 6-ft drop onto concrete. Its touch screen is built to work well with gloves or wet fingers. The Cat S60 runs on Android’s Marsh-mallow operating system, sports 32GB of internal storage and a 3,800-mAh battery, and costs $599. Raso says an unlocked version is coming out this sum-mer in Europe and hitting the U.S.
