Hispanics propel growth in suburbs of Chicago, Illinois
“As new immigrants bypass Chicago for suburban jobs and more affordable housing, the number of Hispanic residents in Will County has nearly doubled since 2000, according to new census estimates.
The southwest suburban county–one of the nation’s fastest-growing–added about 10,000 Hispanic residents from July 2004 to July 2005, nearly as many as Cook County added, despite being far smaller than the nation’s second most populous county.
The Hispanic influx accounted for more than a third of Will County’s total growth during the one-year period.”
