“Poverty among Central Florida’s Hispanics rose from 2000 to 2005, even as the percentage of poor blacks declined, according to new figures released Tuesday by the U.S. Census Bureau.

One in five Hispanics in the seven-county area was living below the poverty line — 20 percent were poor in 2005 compared with 17 percent five years previously, figures show. That adds up to more than 108,600 people.”
