Idaho’s Hispanic population nears 10 percent

“Idaho’s Hispanic population is drawing closer to 10 percent, new Census Bureau figures show, with Hispanics accounting for one of every six new people in the state between mid-2004 and mid-2005.

The census estimate puts Idaho Hispanics at about 9.1 percent of the state’s 1.4 million total population, or about 130,000 residents. Hispanics remained Idaho’s fastest-growing minority group, increasing by more than 4.8 percent over the 12-month stretch and growing twice as fast as the overall state rate.”
