Statistical Brief: The Nation’s Hispanic Population — 1994
Statistical Brief: The Nation’s Hispanic Population — 1994
Report Number SB/95-25
The Nation’s Hispanic1 population continues to grow faster than the rest of its population.
The Nation’s Hispanic population totaled 27 million in 1994, an increase of 28 percent since 1990. The total United States population grew much slower, increasing by only 6 percent during the 4-year period. As a result, about 1 in 10 Americans today are Hispanic. The rapid growth of the Hispanic population in the early 1990’s was a continuation of the trends of the previous 20 years.
Among the reasons for the rapid increase in the Hispanic population were —
- A higher birth rate for Hispanics than for non-Hispanics; and
- High levels of immigration (about 2 million Hispanic immigrants entered the United States between 1990 and 1994).
Hispanics are projected to number 31 million in 2000, 63 million in 2030, and 88 million in 2050. By then, nearly 1 in 4 Americans may be Hispanic.
