Report Finds

 

Hispanics accounted for just over half of the overall population growth
in the United States since 2000 - a significant new demographic
milestone for the nation's largest minority group, a new Pew Hispanic
Center report released today finds.
 
The report, "Latino Settlement in the New Century,"

web-based interactive maps that illustrate the size and spread of
Hispanic population growth since 1980, including easy access to detailed
state and county-level data. It also presents a list of the counties
with the largest Hispanic populations, as well as a list of those
counties with the fastest-growing Hispanic populations.
