Answers verified against official agency websites and state statutes.
Where can I find the total population of 99,940 if the white population is 75,320 and the Hispanic population is 50,601?▼
Total population (99,940) minus the white population (75,320) leaves 24,620 non-white residents in Odessa, TX (Ector County).

To get accurate Odessa demographics, use the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey at https://data.census.gov/. Odessa's actual population per the 2020 Census is approximately 114,428, with a Hispanic/Latino population of about 65% and a non-Hispanic white population of about 27%.
