Area Hispanic population up by 50% since 2000, data say. Birmingham, Alabama

Tagged:

“The number of Hispanics living in the Birmingham-Hoover metropolitan area has grown by 9,286 people in five years, accounting for almost a quarter of the area’s population growth, according to U.S. Census estimates released today.

The new numbers show Alabama’s Hispanic population topping 100,000 for the first time.

Three of the metro area’s seven counties – Jefferson, Shelby and Blount – are among the 10 Alabama counties with the largest increases in Hispanic population from 2000 to 2005. In that five-year span, 5,017 Hispanics moved to Jefferson County, 2,386 to Shelby and 827 to Blount, the estimates indicate.”
