According to 2006 U.S. Census estimates, there were 8,756 Hispanic residents in Montgomery County and only 2,107 in the city of Dayton.
From April 2000 to July 2007, the Hispanic population increased by 66,632 in Ohio. Hispanics still only count for 2.5 percent of the state population.
“Stores like Meijer, they don’t stock the stuff Spanish people want,” said Jesus Sotelo, who runs La Favorita Supermercado with his wife Adrianna. “Plus we speak Spanish here; our customers feel more comfortable with that.”"*
