South Dakota hispanic population jumps

“A study by South Dakota State University shows that the Hispanic population in the state has grown substantially in recent years.

South Dakota had the nation’s sixth-largest percentage increase in Hispanics in the first half of the decade, the SDSU study says.

“(Hispanics) are coming here at quite a rapid rate and they’ve become an important part of society in South Dakota,” said Trevor Brooks, a graduate research assistant with the SDSU Rural Life Census Data Center in Brookings and author of the study.”
