Hispanics make up nearly 30% of Arizona population

Arizona is adding more Hispanics to its population each year than all other groups, according to new figures today from the U.S. Census Bureau.

The federal agency reports there were 1,878,097 Arizonans who identified themselves as Hispanic as of July 1, 2007. That is an increase of 89,140, or 5 percent.

That left 4,460,658 who said they are not of Hispanic origin. That 1.9 percent boost from the prior year translates into just 83,926 new residents.”*
