“The Hispanic population at the Jersey Shore is definitely growing fast: From 2000 through 2006, it rose more than 40 percent in Ocean County and 33 percent in Monmouth, according to estimates by the U.S. Census Bureau.
But getting a handle on the growth of specific groups within the Hispanic population is problematic, because the small sample sizes for the two counties in the Census Bureau’s annual population estimates produce large margins of error. The 2006 estimate for Nicaraguans in Monmouth County, for example, is 771, up more than 350 percent in six years, but the margin of error is plus or minus 732, meaning the actual number could be 39 or 1,503. The sample size for Ocean County was too small to provide estimates for more than a handful of Hispanic countries.”
