“With the data for 42 states revealed, we have a real snapshot of the new face of our nation being driven by the explosive demographic growth of U.S. Hispanics,” said Elizabeth Ellers, executive vice president, Corporate Research, Univision Communications Inc.

Based on the aggregation of the population residing on the 42 states released thus far by Census:

* Hispanic population growth is exceeding the most recent Census estimates by 4.3 percent.
* More than 45 million Hispanics in the 42 states released as of 3-17-11.
* Hispanics contributed 54 percent of the overall population growth in those states.
* From Census 2000-2010, the Hispanic population in these states grew by 45 percent.
* Hispanics are growing four times faster than the total U.S. population.
* More than 14 million “new Hispanics” were added to the population of the 42 states released by Census, compared to 11.8 million “new non-Hispanics” added to the residents of the 42 states released by Census in 2000.

The Census 2010 figures are showing the Hispanic population is less concentrated than 10 years ago. In 2000, 56 percent of the Hispanic population residing in the 42 states released by Census resided either in California or Texas. By 2010, 52 percent of Hispanics reside either in Texas or California.
