Knight Foundation through a Community Partners Program.

The number of Latinos in Mecklenburg County has jumped 614 percent since 1990, according to the U.S. Census, making Charlotte the third fastest-growing Hispanic community in the nation, currently home to more than 66,000 Latinos (8.7 percent of the total population).”
