Study by Sacramento State University Professor Shows Differences in Poverty Rates for Hispanics

“While poverty rates for Hispanic Americans overall far exceed the national rate, a new study by a Sacramento State professor shows that there are significant differences among ethnicities within the Hispanic American community.

Since 1980, the poverty rate for Cuban Americans has been roughly comparable to that of non-Hispanic Americans, about 14.6 percent. But poverty rates for Mexican Americans and for Puerto Rican Americans have been almost twice as high.”
