    Despite difficult economic times, in the long trajectory of their lives Latinos see improved standards of living when compared with their parents and expect their children’s standard of living to be even better.

For Latinos, after reaching a record high of 49.8% in 2006, the homeownership rate fell to 47.4% [...]

  • Latinos in the 2012 Election: Florida
    Florida’s Latino population is the third-largest in the nation. More than 4.2 million Hispanics reside in Florida, 8% of all Hispanics in the United States. There are 2.1 million Latino eligible voters in Florida, 10% of all U.S. Latino eligible voters.

  • Appendix B: Methodology
    Population data from the American Community Survey (ACS) are tied to the Census Bureau’s official population estimates through a weighting process that is designed so the ACS figures agree with pre-specified population totals by age, sex, race and Hispanic origin for the nation and smaller geographic areas (Census Bureau, 2009). The ACS data also agree [...]

How come some of the people shown on the left don't look Hispanic?
Hispanic or Latino is not a race.   There are Latinos of many different races and physical characteristics.  For more information see our FAQ article, Why doesn't the census include Hispanic as a race?, and the Latino Blog post Let's Stop Segmenting People by Race!
