The U.S. Census, in data released this week, indicates that the Hispanic population in the Pine Belt has grown significantly. The 2006 data show the number of Hispanics in Forrest County grew from 916 in 2000 to 1,250 last year.
The increase was even more dramatic in Jones County, which saw the Hispanic population grow from 1,272 in 2000 to 2,678 in 2006.”
