“Hispanic or Latino” in the U.S.
Among all racial groups in the US censuses, special groups are distinguished: “Hispanic or Latino” and “non-Hispanic or Latino”. The US Census Bureau defines “Hispanic or Latino” as “a person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Hispanic culture or origin, regardless of race.”
The United States has the largest Hispanic population outside of Latin America proper. More than fifty-seven million people (or almost 18% of the US population) classify themselves as Hispanic or Latino.
The vast majority of “Hispanic or Latino” people live in the US Southwest, including about half of the total in Texas and California.
The ethnic group “Hispanic or Latino” is one of the fastest growing in the United States (in percentage terms – the second after Asian Americans), both due to immigration to the United States from Latin American countries and due to high rates of natural population growth.
