Mexicans boost local population in and around Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Tagged: ,

“An influx of Mexican immigrants to the Pennsylvania suburbs – spawning Spanish-language soccer leagues in Norristown and bulging elementary schools in Avon Grove – is highlighting the growth in the region’s Latino population, new census data show.

In Chester County, the Mexican population doubled to more than 10,000 between 2002 and 2005, according to the data. The Mexican community there, the largest outside Philadelphia, accounted for more than half of the county’s Latinos.”
