60_113	Note: the US Census treats Hispanic/Latino as an ethnic category. This table excludes Latinos from

60_117	As of the census of 2000, 20,814 people resided in the county, organized into 8,521 households, and
60_118	6,083 families. The population density was 20 people per square mile (8/km2). The 9,902 housing
60_119	units averaged nine per square mile (four per km2). The racial makeup of the county was 92.82%
60_120	White, 0.33% Native American, 0.21% Black or African American, 0.18% Asian, 0.02% Pacific Islander,
60_121	5.27% from other races and 1.18% from two or more races. About 15.90% of the population was
60_122	Hispanic or Latino of any race. In terms of ancestry, 40.8% were of German, 10.3% were of English,
60_123	10.0% were of Irish, 6.0% were of American, 3.1% were of Scotch-Irish, 2.5% were of Scottish,2.5%
60_124	were of French. In 1990, about 3,000 speakers of Texas German were in Gillespie and Kendall
60_125	Counties, but this is believed to have declined since.
60_126	Of the 8,521 households, 25.90% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 62.10% were
60_127	married couples living together, 7.00% had a female householder with no husband present, and 28.60%
60_128	were not families. About 25.80% of all households were made up of individuals, and 14.20% had
60_129	someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.38 and the
60_130	average family size was 2.84.
60_131	In the county, the population was distributed as 21.60% under the age of 18, 5.50% from 18 to 24,
60_132	21.20% from 25 to 44, 26.20% from 45 to 64, and 25.50% who were 65 years of age or older. The
60_133	median age was 46 years. For every 100 females, there were 89.70 males. For every 100 females age
60_134	18 and over, there were 88.10 males.
60_135	The median income for a household in the county was $38,109, and for a family was $45,315. Males

60_140	Politics
60_141	Gillespie County is part of the 21st District in the United States House of Representatives,
60_142	represented by Republican Chip Roy, the 25th district of the Texas State Senate, represented by
60_143	Republican Donna Campbell, and the 73rd District of the Texas House of Representatives and is
60_144	represented by Republican Kyle Biedermann.
60_145	The county is something of an aberration in that it is a historically Republican county in a state
60_146	that was overwhelmingly Democratic up until recent decades. This is largely due to the heavily
60_147	German American heritage of the county and that Gillespie was the centre of Texas’ small Unionist
60_148	movement during the Civil War. Most Texas Germans acquiesced to secession, but Fredericksburg was
60_149	still self-sufficient and sold surplus food to the army.
60_150	Gillespie County has been won by Republicans in every election since 1896 with only a handful of
60_151	exceptions. Theodore Roosevelt's Progressive Party won the county in 1912 (but carried no other
60_152	counties in the state). In 1924, it was one of only two Texas counties won by Progressive candidate
60_153	Robert M. La Follette. Gillespie County has backed a Democratic nominee only twice since the 19th
60_154	century: in 1932 and 1964, both of which were landslide victories for the party, and the latter
60_155	being for county native Lyndon Johnson. No Democrat since Jimmy Carter in 1976 has received so much
60_156	as 22 percent of the county's vote.
60_157	Franklin D. Roosevelt won the county by almost 60 percentage points in 1932, despite the county's
60_158	massive Republican lean. At his fourth and final election in 1944, he received less than one-tenth
60_159	of its vote - a decline of more than 70 percentage points from his first election result in the
60_160	county.
