Mapping Latinos in the United States with NPR
The Hispanic population in the United States has grown significantly in the past decade, with Latinos now making up every 1 in 6 residents. Much of the rapid growth - 118 counties have experienced a population change of more than 250%, four have experienced change of more than 1000% - is in the South and Midwest, areas that previously had low Hispanic populations. This morning NPR kicked off a series chronicling this population change and how its changing our overall makeup as a country and impacting towns across the United States. As part of its coverage, NPR is using an interactive map of Census data to show the story of population change.
