New Demographic and Economic Data

on Hispanics by State

The

Pew Hispanic Center, a project of the Pew Research Center, has released

updated profiles of the

Latino population in the 50 U.S. states and the District of

Columbia. Derived from the 2008 American Community Survey, these profiles

feature downloadable data on the demographic and economic characteristics

of the Latino populations in each state.

The Center also updated the national

portraits of Hispanics and the foreign-born population

adding data on racial self-identification and health insurance coverage.

Almost one-third of Hispanics identify with " some other race " compared

with less than one percent of the non-Hispanic population. Hispanics are

twice as likely as the overall population to lack health insurance

coverage. Among foreign-born Hispanics, one-in-two lacks health insurance

coverage.

A brief commentary on the profiles

is also available on the Center's website.

Updated

data on the Latino population in U.S. counties will be forthcoming

shortly. County data

through 2007 are currently available on the Center's

website.

The Pew Hispanic Center, a project of the Pew Research Center, is a

nonpartisan, non-advocacy research organization based in Washington,

D.C. and is funded by The Pew Charitable Trusts.
