Latino population growth has accounted for less than 40% of US total population increase in the 1990s, but it has been the product of natural increase (birth minus deaths) rather than immigration.

According to a new report by the http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=5735 in the United States since 2000.
The report, “Latino Settlement in the New Century,” includes a series of web-based interactive maps that illustrate the size and spread of Hispanic population growth since 1980, including access to detailed state and county-level data. It also presents a list of the counties with the largest Hispanic http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=5056, as well as a list of those counties with the fastest-growing Hispanic populations.
In the 1990s the Hispanic population also expanded rapidly, but its growth accounted for less than 40% of the nation’s total population increase in that decade. From 2000 to 2007, Latinos accounted for 50.5% of the total U.S. population http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=5719, even though, as of mid-2007, they made up just 15.1% of the total population.
In another change from the 1990s, Latino population growth in this new century has been more a product of the natural increase (births minus deaths) of the existing population than it has been of new international migration, according to Pew Hispanic Center analysis.The report identifies 676 fast-growing Hispanic counties among the nation’s total of 3,141 counties. These counties all share two characteristics: a 2007 Latino population of at least 1,000; and an above-average Hispanic growth of at least 41% from 2000 to 2007. The list includes 148 counties that did not experience rapid growth in the 1990s.
