Florida’s white population saw its smallest increase this decade, according to U.S. census figures released today. Meanwhile, a slight jump in Florida’s minority population bucked the state’s overall slowdown in growth.
Minorities now make up 39 percent of Floridians, with the state’s black population the second-highest in the nation, surpassed only by New York. The number of blacks in the state grew by 1.46 percent from July 1, 2006, to July 1, 2007.
The state also has the third-largest Hispanic population in the nation, after California and Texas. The population of Hispanics in Florida grew by 3.61 percent.”*
