HOW THE POPULATION HAS GROWN: Latino culture, heritage thrive in suburbs - Detroit

No longer isolated in pockets like southwest Detroit, the region’s Latinos are spreading, mirroring a nationwide trend of suburban growth among Hispanics.

At the same time, the Latino population inside Detroit continues to grow, albeit at a smaller rate, thanks to a steady influx of immigrants and some second-generation Latinos looking for city life.

The Latino population grew by about 4,500 people in Detroit from 2000 to 2006, a 9.5% increase, U.S. Census figures show. But in Detroit’s suburbs, it grew by nearly 23,000 people, a 32% increase. Suburban Wayne County saw a 39% increase to almost 42,000.”*
